DM-15L Review

All good and valid points, except...the TI-30X Pro accepts complex arguments only for arithmetic operators, square roots and powers, not log or trig functions as in the 15C. Hence, the point I made in both previous posts (copied below) remains unanswered. Despite 40 years of hardware evolution making possible low-cost scientific calculators with nice feature sets, the 40 year old complex function feature set of the 15C (important for EE's, scientists and others) has not been equaled in a current low-cost scientific calculator.
