I am not aware of anyone who has gone back to the 42S layout.

Stick on overlays to convert the C47 aren't expensive and work amazingly well. All the keycaps are unchanged.

The C47 has become my favourite calculator ever.
I've compared it with the WP 43 (I'm the P in WP BTW) and the C47 is**much** easier to use.

Hmm, I should give this a try. I haven't done much with my DM42 lately.

Personally, I've always thought the 11C was HP's most elegant design. The 15C is certainly more powerful and capable, but the keyboard overloading they had to do to add matrix and complex number operations resulted in quite a few functions that are not at all discoverable or intuitive (such as Px,y and Cx,y having special meaning for matrices). An 11C with the solve function and a little bit more memory would probably be my ideal Voyager.
