That's a fair question Smile

Number of reasons, really:
  • I'll use the Prime more for graphical, and perhaps more algebraic/symbolic/CAS stuff, although I'm interested to explore the CAS features of the 50g
  • I've been evaluating the Prime against my Casio CP400 (and CG50), and I'd like to add the 50g to that. it's possible that I might eventually sell one if I find i'm exclusively using one in particular. but I doubt it.
  • I wanted to play more with RPN usage, and RPL which is new to me. I know the Prime has an RPN mode, but I get the impression it's not intended to be used exclusively. And no RPN in CAS mode I believe, either.
  • I will view the 50g more as an extension of the line of traditional line/stack-based RPN calcs I've used in sims, like the 42/48, rather than as a graphical tool.
  • I have a bad habit of collecting calculators, and Oxford Educational have just a dozen or so new 50g left in stock, and I think they're the last in Europe. Couldn't pass that up Smile
