Siglent, to a lesser extent Rhode & Schwarz, and some other manufacturers are trying to take a shot at this new lower priced RF gear market segment. Honestly, though, the Rigol SAs were some of the earlier inexpensive SAs available on the market, and they were launched at a fairly disruptive price point, so the whole point of their price point was to be a capable alternative to the used market and a new-low entry level to the new market. and their base price is on the high end of that estimate, especially if you want a TG. A lot of the offerings on the used market are higher bandwidth than the Rigol/Siglent units you're talking about. $1000 is a reasonable ballpark, but especially older models can be found to around $500 in good condition from some makers. It's going to be hard to find a working, tested SA for that cheap. There's some nonsense, there's some reflection of the unit's original cost, and there's some reflection of the relative rarity/desirability of them.
