I just picked up a 48SX, so now I will have an RPL calculator to mess with if I break something badly when servicing the 28S. I think that will make me get to actually taking it apart a lot quicker, since I now have a fallback plan.

Since you now have a 48SX, it's likely you'll stop wanting to use the 28S. The 48SX is just so much better in every way, it's hard to imagine wanting to go back.

And though it would be easy to only use '28s features' on the 48SX, definitely explore the expanded commands, as they offer much more.

Bill Wickes book "HP-48 Insights Part I - Principles and Programming" is a great (likely the best) resource for learning the 48SX, even if you already know RPL from the 28s. It's included in the MoHPC Document Set.
