I think the pricing may be the worst part about these 3 and 4 series. The 3 series is attractively priced until you realize that is a base price with no options....and the options add up to 10k+ real fast. Sounds like anecdotal evidence says you aren't getting much for that money, either...
Good observation Oculus, in the UK a new base model 4 is very attractively priced 4 channel model at £6210 +vat @ 20% this is for a base 200Mhz model
For the 1 GHz model add another £15,300 (+vat ) LOL
They are having a promotion on the power analysis bundle and two basic probes plus the deskew fixture another £3600 (actually a fair price)
£1K for the Arb genny
Extra memory to 62.5M
£2K
Each of the serial data options (12 in total) are £1600 EACH
Basic spectrum view (which is pants imho) £1570
Spectrum bandwidth to 500Mhz increase
£2500
Each of the 8 channel logic probes are £1550 each
the probes range from £482 t £28000, yes £28000 for the Tru view probe.
It adds up very easily for this outlay you could purchase one hellva of a scope (not Tek) and have some serious change left over.
Do they feel that business users just look at the basic price?
This is joke pricing
