Did you not have to get 3 quotes for tender etc?
Not if each individual piece of equipment is under a certain amount. This was one of reasons I went with Rigol (plus the fact that it is easier and faster to order from all one place since it each quote has to get approval to order.)
And yes, as others have noticed I do have 12xDS1102D's on backorder. I would have liked to get something a little better, but these will be more than adequate, and it will be nice to have the mixed signal capability.
And no, I don't plan on unlocking all the options in the lab at school. (Not to say that I have not done that at home, though!)
