I'll take that one step further: Don't underestimate the 5370A!

The 5370A is functionally identical to the 5370B.  It has the same specs as
the 5370B.  It programs with the same feature set as the 5370B.  And, it makes
its readings, and reports its data on HPIB just as fast as the 5370B.  The
only difference between the A and B model is they combined the CPU, RAM and ROM
cards into one, and they made some changes to the circuitry to make manufacture
easier.
