Agree - it has more digit precision, and seems to return exactly the same results as the other saturn calculators, with two notable exceptions. Like the HP-12c, it also apparently takes the ceiling of 'N', and when solving i for very close to zero, it is more like the HP-12c. As you say - it may or may not have the same algorithm as the HP-12c, but on working on different hardware with different digit precision.
