Also, what hardware device do you recommend, the DM32 or DM42 ? The DM42 seems to be more user-friendly without a vinyl overlay (I'd prefer not to stick labels on the keys too).

I would still recommend the DM32 + overlay (order a tabbed one if you don't want this to be permanent), for three reasons:

1/ More Flash space, meaning I will be able to put more HP50 features. At some point, I fully expect DB50X (the DM32 version) to have exclusive features I cannot fit in DB48X.

2/ More RAM, meaning your RPL has about 450K free instead of about 70K. Same thing, it may enable some features that I simply cannot do without some RAM, like 3D curve rendering.

3/ Faster on battery. If running on battery is what matters to you, the DM32 is faster than the DM42. On USB, it is slower.
