Calculator as a tool

[Santi]

I use the calculator at work everyday (merchant ship officer), so for me it's just another tool (and perhaps one of the most important ones). I've been using HP calcs since early 2000's, first a second hand 48SX, then 49G+, and until now a 50G. I also keep a 35S as a backup calculator (and I really love it)
The 50G keys are starting to break apart now (it's one of the first ones), so I decided to give the Prime an opportunity. And I don't like it at all.
The need to press the softkeys on the touchscreen feels just awkward. Then I'm used to have a quick access to my programs using CST on my previous calcs, and it feels silly to me that it haven't implemented. The programming language it's nice and powerful, but maybe to much for a calculator. I like the RPL and keystroke like logic. So I find the Prime to be maybe a nice learning aid for the college, uni, etc... but not a professional tool as the previous calcs used to be.
On the pros side of things, I really like the looks, the plastic cover and the feel of the keys, but I don't feel its a real substitute for the 48-49-50 line...
What do you think about this? Maybe I haven't tried hard enough?
