To take some of the puzzle out of the model numbers, look at Dr. Kirkby's web pages, for example:?
I think the HP/Agilent 8753 series is a great choice that balances capabilities and cost.? I got an absolutely pristine, working perfectly, 8753ES off the auction site a couple years back for about $1800.
With the assistance of Dr, Kirkby's friend I was able to add the time domain option which makes it a very powerful addition to my RF bench.?
You can download a full set of operation manuals and application notes for the 8753 instruments from Keysight.? Also, there are utilities available from Keysight and from John Miles to do screen captures, save data and so on.
