Even 42 fans should realize that compared to more modern calculators it is no longer at the cutting edge of technology and that it already had some disadvantages compared to the even nostalgic HP48. Compared to modern Calculators with CAS and modern program languages like python the HP42 also belongs to another time.

Disclaimer: I am I long-term RPL lover I use a 50g daily in my job, but as I don't need CAS and the bunch of advanced (and sometimes obscure) advanced math functions I am looking for something lighter. Just to give an example, a modern reiteration of 48sx with more speed, the GX memory model and easily replaceable would be perfect for me.
I use also a 35s for simple calculations, by never fell in love with it.

Now I am experimenting with 41cx emulator end Free42, just to understand if DM41x or DM42 can fit my needs.
As a matter of fact, for me 42s/Free42 is easier than 41cx's being more similar to 48 series concept. And in general I find 42s easier to use compared to 41cx and more suitable to my needs due to soft keys and custom menu.
My feeling is that, If I ever decide to buy one, it will be a DM42. Unless SM will develop a DM48....
