I wouldn't say few sales over $1k, SDS2000X Plus is a good bit more but still great bang for buck and I prefer it over IMO the over-priced SDS1000X HD models.
Hobbyists would all like the 10" display but that pushes you into SDS2104X Plus territory and those with the coin to spare will chose it every time even though it's a good bit dearer.
Side by side vs a 7" display even with the same GUI is no contest.

I thought the SDS800X-HD were the best bang per buck. Pity about the 7" screen. The SDS1000X HD definitely seemed over-priced. SDS2000X Plus was on special offer so I splashed out. I don't like touch screens, but it can be used with a USB track ball. The 10" screen is definitely worth having, especially as I need specs. The FG is sometimes convenient and saves clutter, although I have a better standalone FG. I would have liked 12 bit rather than 8/10 bit. I've no regrets about the purchase.

I looked at Rigol when buying new TE, but Siglent always seemed to have more to offer for the money. The other Chinese marques, Hantek etc don't seem to have such good software or community support. They might be OK if you are counting every penny, but it would be better to stretch to SDS800X if possible.
