Faster than the other 15C platforms (was clear from the context).

Not that I want to get into a row about such a trifling matter. But the context wasn't clear to me. Clear would have been to state something along the lines of "faster than other 15c variants".

I love my 15c's (vintage and LE); the 15c is in my top 5 HP calculators of all time. But I wouldn't consider using a 15c these days for system of equation duties. Even if i limit myself to other HP calculators, there are far, far better options available (in both user experience and performance regards).

I'm cook-a-hoop that Moravia have decided to reissue the 15c and will order one in July to add to my HP collection (when they're publicly available). But on the remote chance that they've sold out in july, due to pre-release hype, so be it. The CE appears to be broadly similar from a perfomance perspective to the LE, which is the version I use on a more regular basis, so the urge to purchase one up front is minimal (much as I don't use a 15c for matrices in 2023, I happily crank through complex arithmetic duties on a 15c).
