Agreed. My previous arb was a SDG2042X, which I'd agree was the value sweet spot, but in any case when I bought the SDG6022X my expectations were well-calibrated. I needed a few extra MHz, PRBS with controllable edges, and no migration fuss. That's exactly what I got. The limited I/Q generation software, limited modulation bandwidth, and cramped GUI leave no doubt that it's an overextension of the low-end platform, but hackability makes up for that. Between the tradeoffs and long updates it clearly serves a small niche, but I'm also in that niche. I made this thread as a joke but it's also exactly how I feel. Shrug.
