I wouldn't take one because, like the Prime, it seems to be dedicated to education, but from the little I have seen so far, it seems superior to the Prime. So why wait for the Prime when the alternative already exists on the market? Now for professional purposes with unit conversion, multiple equation solver, base conversion and the fun of RPL, the 50g remains my best toy for now.

When I was in the processing of buying the Prime, I had a list with options to choose from, and if I remember correctly, the classpad 400 was the last entry mostly because of its inferior hardware. Even so, I decided to play with the emulator for a short while and came to the conclusion it was a far more mature product than the Prime was and is now. Its CAS was way better and the equation solver worked like a dream (except I couldn't find where or how to solve systems of non-linear equations), and I don't think it had a MES, probably still doesn't.

Would you care to open a thread comparing the two? Might be interesting to see what others have to say.
