It seems that this requires more finger movement for shift-combinations. I think that its previous location (on the same row as 4, 5, 6, *) is more logical in this respect.

For minimum finger travel, [f] should be placed where [8] is now. Obviously we can't do that.
Next best location would be where [▼] is now. Remember we us [▼] for RDOWN, too, so we shouldn't separate [▼] from [ENTER].
Next best location would be where [->] is now. This, however, would move [->] further away from the green set of modes it is used with (e.g. in ->RAD etc.).
Next best location of [f] is where it sits now. Which is - as another forumer pointed out - the position the younger members here think being traditional (since they know just the Pioneers).
