They fixed the price? I'd say they broke it.
I understand what you mean though but for me the SDM3065X just became a lot less attractive.
BTW, I was looking at the accuracy specifications in the
datasheet for the SDM3065X and noticed that they looks remarkably similar to those for the DM3068. There doesn't seem to be a single digit difference anywhere. Are these sort of performance numbers just mathematically calculated, tested and verified on actual instruments or just copied from the competing products datasheet?
Here's an example of the DC Voltage range
