content: 24kpts... what were they thinking???I have no experience with either... but on features alone, I'd say the Rigol DS2000 series is an order of magnitude better than the BK2550 series, as far as I can tell , being an outside observer watching videos and reading specs.

They are produced by Tonhgui or by Siglent.QuoteStill better than TDS3000 with 10kpoints/channel. OK, it's a scope from year 1998, or so.

content: QuoteDepends on features and how it compares to equivalent other brands/models in terms of price.If I'm considering Tek or Agilent I would definitely go for Agilent for better prices for same or better features.No eBay or second hand stuff. Period.Budget is 0 - ~= $5000. If I can get something for free, demo version that would be awesome.

content: Quote from: Jozef on April 10, 2013, 05:30:00 pmDefinitely check out the AgilentUsed store on eBay. VERY good deals there and they will usually accept offers at much lower. You can even talk them down a bit on some addons and accessories.
