20b or 30b for WP34s

I was wondering whether to choose a 20b or 30b for converting the calculator to a WP34s.

What would the reasons the be to pick one over the other?

Thanks in advance.

The 30b has a better keyboard - it has a firm "click" feel to it. The 20b keyboard has no click and feels a little soggy. On the other hand, on some 30b machines some keys can "click" without registering a press, sometimes. You may feel happier with a non-click keyboard that forces you to push firmly.

The 20b is black, which makes for a neater appearance when the black overlay is applied.

I believe that neither machine is being manufactured any longer. I have found it easier to get hold of the 30b here in the UK than the 20b.

Apart from the keyboard and the case colour I believe that the hardware in both machines is identical.

I prefer the look and feel of the 30b myself. I think most will agree with me.

Good luck with the WP34s. You'll love it!
