41 with modules vs 42 (HP or SM)

[polbit]

I can tell you one thing. As a heavy user of 48/50 in college and early career (started my HP journey with a 28C in high school), I see both a 41C and 42S as more of a fun exercise.

I own both in DM and HP versions, and spend 80% of my time with an HP 41CX. Despite the operand keys being on the "wrong" side, and much slower, I find the synthetic programming and the entire ecosystem to be pretty amazing.
