Dave at EEVBLOG has some reviews and teardowns of some Rigol gear if you haven't seen them. They may have the odd issue here and there but as you say I think they represent great bang for back. They recently came good in reasonable time with a firmware update to fix a jitter issue on one of their scopes.
