This whole topic reads like a Monty Python...
This scope, fully unlocked, is a steal for 2000€, even for 3000€. For 7000-8000€ it is not.
I personally am fed up by marketing tricks. It doesn't matter if 200 people got it for 2000€.. Keysight is GIVING AWAY that many scopes for free...
But it doesn't mean anything to me because I'm not gonna get it.. Nor I will get R&S.. With Keysight at least there is reason (local laws) why not everybody can get it.
With R&S it is just stupid marketing games..
This bombastic and sensationalistic title would be true if they were selling them at that kind of price for real...
To me this scope is a failure at market positioning. If it were 2000-3000€ i would get it instead of second tier vendors. R&S is legendary company with great track record. Getting it at a competitive price instead of Rigol or such would be obvious choice... But at prices they are asking, they are saying their economy, entry level scope costs as much as some pro level equipment..
And 4 times as much as chinese brands that are getting better as we speak..
No, sorry, no killer scope, and certainly not a game changer.. It is just a nice scope from a R&S for way too much money.. That is actually old story with R&S and their former Hameg line..
It's a shame, because I like it..
