Okay, make fun of me, make fun of me. I'm sorry for this statement, it's just that your previous post brings nothing to the topic except that it may be upsetting to some users. Maybe SDS2000X Plus is better than RTB2004-COM4, I don't know, it's hard for me to be objective and honest here, because I don't have or have access to SDS 2000X Plus. I did not choose Rohde & Schwarc for the emblem, only because I like these oscilloscopes and their design, after working on RTE I knew that the manufacturer focuses on the best materials and electronic components which translates into quality, the oscilloscope is well thought out, I also have HMO1002. interesting and useful solutions like Virtual Screen. I assume that this sensational Siglent 2000X HD in a full option configuration costs much more than the RTB. Since he is so cool. Everyone has a budget, a different one will buy something for $ 1500, another one for $ 6000- & 7000, and another one for $ 25000. There is no point in arguing. Apart from R&S I have a Tektronix which is also great, Siglent also but only SDS 1104X-E, in my opinion a very good oscilloscope. I'm sorry if I offended you, What's wrong is not me.
I greet you,

I was jesting a little but wasn't making fun of you, as a person.
If you got offended I am sorry too. It seems I have problem with sarcasm, you have problem detecting humor.. We are not perfect..It's only human. Important thing is to stay civilized and work out the differences..
Just a note, one might argue that your post also added nothing useful to the topic. That is why a slight tangents are allowed in discussion.
RTB2000 is similar and was made to look alike 3000/4000 series but have seriously less capability. FFT on RTB2000 is also not perfect (there is a separate topic discussing just that) and not same as RTM3000 that has spectrum option.
User configurable colors are useful and other scopes have it too. One thing I really like on R&S is user configurable palette for color grading. Especially useful is reverse palette, that shows rare signals most brightly.... I wish more scopes had that feature..
R&S higher end devices are excellent but expensive. Budget always exists, but it is how much you get for your money is what changes all the time... That is why I don't believe in blind brand loyalty.
And yes, you were wrong a bit. And so was I. We both apologized.
I will not pollute this thread anymore with this detour. If you feel anything is unresolved, please let's continue with PM.
Sincerely, all the best.

Ok my firend It's ok. RTM3000 spectrum also is not perfect, Far away from my mayby raw but exellent SA 3GHz not software enchenced, but fully hardware like second device in other box, but in MDO3000 it uses screen, knobs, buttons from front of an oscilloscope, perfectly is MDO4000, I didn;t see in R&S brochure that RTM3000 or RTA4000 which is practicly the same as RTM3000 (exist vid fron R&S about that), but backing to clue on catalog when is section RTM3000 is only HD emblemat, since RTE1000 is HD mode and Multi-domain like in Tektronix MDO4000 which as you knoq are powerful features. No I have from work Tektronix Series 5, it is sad that the Tektronix company left SA only in Tektroni MDO34 Serier3, but not me should judgee it.
Siglent SDS2000X Plus or HD also has problems, this is level of the scopes for us expensive and we are angry, but on RTO2044 there is no bug existing. But for RTB2004 we pay max $6000 - $7000, for RTO1044 fot e.g. also exellent $20 000.
I was exaited and planning to buy RTE1024 with full opt from eBay, but my brother calm me down, and give smart tip, you have two good scopes MDO3000 + RTB2004 both with full options, great performance, and features. FFT in my opinion is great. Siglent also has problems, it is important not to drop out the scope stright to the dumpster beccause of some shortcomings if you at the moment somebody can't afford a level up scope in the list, for me amputatuon due to cancer close my budget to RTB2004-COM4, for RTE1000 (why R&S because i like they GUI and design, and perfection, but other scopes also are on the list for consider) but now all money I have to collect to buy a new (no new like brand new - used
) car, with automatic becaure of amputation (left leg under the knee). I don;t cry on that, I'm also a MD doctor, neurosurgeon, see at work before get cancer meny tragic horrifing cases, for e.g. when brain tumon has a little child. In my opinion, children should not be ill, children should be happy, laugh and play, and not suffer in the hospital. But what is the world like? Sorry for the philosophical insertion, somehow it took me to think he he
