I think you may find the option was best pulse response OR an increased 3dB frequency of 275 MHz. The difference is just an matter of adjusting the compensation in the vertical amp. The best pulse response in terms of least overshoot etc, also gives a flatter response in the pass band (which it should as this is effectively adjusting to give a pure Bessel response). The higher 3dB frequency version gave considerable overshoot on the pulse response, and a "bumpier" pass band. I was quite surprised to find quite HOW bumpy the pass band can be the first time I did a check on my 7904 using an SG504.

Unless you have swept a scope with a very well leveled sine generator, you are only guessing it is flat. That's WHY Tektronix sells BOTH fast rise Pulse Generators and Leveled Sine Generators.
