Truer than true. Be prepared for another ‘This week's super high prices on TAS’ story.

Thankfully, based on my experience with Casio prices on ebay, I'm not too worried about 991EX availability in the future. They produced an enormous amount of that model, so I'm sure there will be plenty of used ones to go around for a long time. It's not particularly difficult or expensive to get a nice 991 or 115 from any of the much older generations (D, S, W, MS, ES...).

The funny thing is that I do like the CW - it's slimmer, the keyboard feels better, and they've made some important improvements to the spreadsheet, stats, and auto-power-off. But I recognize that nearly everything is more efficient to key in on the EX. In other words, I don't mind the CW for a quick one-off calculation here and there, but I sure wouldn't want to use it heavily for a math class! I'd probably just bring both to have the best of both worlds.
