Along with the new 4000 X-Series, it seems there's also a new passive probe model, the 700 MHz N2894A.
Any reason why this wouldn't also be a good choice for the 3000X 1GHz model too? The N2894A product page only mentions the 4000X.
And is it compatible with the N287xA series 2.5mm accessories? Strictly speaking it's in a different series, but it sure looks like a N287x.

The accessories for the N2780A sereis will ineed work, but you won't get 700 MHz out of it when used with a 3000X. The 3000X has 500 MHz bw on the 1M input. The 4000X apparently has over 700 MHz on the 1M path (haven't had the cahnce to check that out yet). if u really want 1 GHz of SYSTEM bw (assuming a 1 GHz scope) and good loading, get an N2795A se active probe. These are very nice and realtively low cost (~$1k).
pretty much all 1M paths on ALL scopes are 500 MHz, though this is rearely mentioned anywhere.
