And on the subject of Tek vs. HPAK, at work at Raytheon (back when I was traveling there every day before the end of March last year), I noticed that we had Keysight do the calibration of all the MTE (Measurement and Test Equipment, the aerospace and defense term for it), including the Tek scopes. It made me wonder if the Keysight techs didn't intentionally tweak the Tek scopes to just barely meet the specifications! Versus making the HPAK gear exceed the specs!
Enquiring minds want to know!

I guess the Tek 'scopes don't like HP sine waves quite as much.
