Primarily those aged 16-18 that are looking for an alternative to the Prime, which isn't well regarded in the UK education sector because of it's CAS capabilities (even with it's exam mode). Staying with the UK sector, at it's what I know, students in this age bracket are also looking for a more grown up calculator than the Casio options they have thrust upon them as the 'officially' approved option.

I doubt that would be the case at even half the price. Both my sons had good grades in math, one of them programmed quite a lot (1980s BASIC to C++) and both did not shy away from logical challenges, but both of them politely refused all RPN offers and considered their TI-30Xs sufficient for their purposes and more comfortable to use (probably because you can see the whole calculation while you type). For my youngest it isn't even sure they will use classroom calculators at all, having been issued laptops.
