content: Dear AllJust in case your are having trouble sourcing a Rigol DS1054Z that are in very high demand I can tell you that BatterFly in Italy has ample stock, I was messed about by Batronix so cancelled with them, from a post on here about BatterFly I thought I would try them and I ordered mine and last week and got 4 days later delivered to the UK, absolutely no problem at all. If you want one of these sharpish I would go to them as they do not mess you about.

content: Ordered a DS1054Z from Batterfly last week and arrived almost one week later.Went for the upgradebased on reviews by eevblog, forum & similar.Feedback on purchase so far....- Shipped out within one day. Delivery took almost one week vs 2-3 working days quoted, via TNT. Seems the extra delay was due to Easter weekend & Bank Holiday locally. Not a problem for me.- Slightly more expensive than elsewhere in Europe, but in stock!- Came with latest firmware installed (00.04.02.SP4 / Board version: 0.1.1)- Asked for & got an eevblog discount...tnx @gmit77- There was a tee-shirt included in the box...nice touch- Between ordering & delivery, sold my circa 5 year old DS1052E locally for ~75% of the original purchase price...nice (They seem popular & in demand for resale !!!)- All in all, a relatively cheap upgrade!The biggest point is that after 1 day's use, it has more than paid for itself.(was able to significantly improve performance on a project in development, aided by the better resolution on the screen. For some reason these issues didn't seem so obvious to solve last week on the previous model???...Maybe a case of 'new toy syndrome')Favourite features so far:- Screen resolution- Dedicated single trigger button- Decoding features (trial only as standard)- Soft menu & measurement buttons- Extra memory points (decrease after trial period, but still very good afterwards)

content: Hopefully it comes with an English manual, because most people don't talk Italian... unfortunately we don't.. because Italian is a cool language
