Oh well. I guess you’ve got no choice then. My experience may not be translatable to yours of course.

TBH I’m not a fan of its UI… I wish it had a touch screen instead of all the buttons. While the Rigol’s UI is not bad, it does a lot of stuff, as you point out, the EU models have all the features, and that’s quite a few. So I often find myself hunting around the menus for certain functions, and sometimes have trouble understanding what mode it is in…
It’s the main reason I want to try the USB Oscilloscope next, because I imagine using the mouse to set things in a nice big window will suit my style better.
In those terms I guess I’m glad for the buttons that the Rigol does have. Having even more functions hidden in even more menus would not improve my experience, I think. But really it depends a bit how the UI is implemented. I haven’t used a Siglent, so I can’t say from experience.
In summary I’d say that in the day and age of smart-phones and tablets, the oscilloscopes button based UIs and low-res screens seem anachronistic.
But I think this kind of thing depends also depends very much on the person. I like a good UI experience, and would be willing to pay extra for it. Other people don’t see it that way. It depends what you like…
Cool man, where are you based (if you don’t mind me asking)?
So I have decided to go for Rigol, just like yours.
Its a first one for me so that makes a lot of sense.
Re: where I’m based… well Malta
