The main reason is the LED display. Not only it’s always perfectly visible in low low light conditions, but also from various viewing angles. In many LCD displays, the contrast changes if the calculator is at some distance on the desk, so the calculator must be rather close to the working area, which can be sometimes cluttered.
Not such constraint with the HP67: I use it where it is on my desk.
And with Panamatik’s new ACT upgrade, I can easily load programs, and have continuous memory with two keystrokes.

Turn on an HP-67 and a Ti-59 and place them side by side on a desk. Then move your head from side to side and notice the 59 is unreadable long before the 67. It sounds almost a minor thing when you read about it. But if you do this little experiment, you will find the results dramatic.
