Now that's crazy talk. The BA-II Plus features are decent, but it's pretty unpleasant due to two things: no rubber feet (it slides all over your desk), and awful keyboard response with no two-key rollover, that will leave you with missed keystrokes at a very low threshold for "fast typing".

The Professional version has rubber feet, a (partly?) metal case, and 2-key rollover, I think, unlike the cheaper version for students.

The EL-738F even has hyperbolic trig. Nice!
