However, the financial community just wants the good old 12c and so they keep making that and have dropped all the others.

I believe the HP-17BII+ [Silver] remains in production, and is still listed on the website, etc. Excepting the unfortunate bug in the L() and G() functions in the solver, this is an excellent machine which seems to sell well, based on the number I see for sale on TAS. While it certainly has not sold as well as the 12C, it may well serve as the "top of the line" to make the 12C and 12CP seem like a better buy, and they are undoubtedly the highest margin models in HP's lineup.
