I *love* the 34s. Love, love, love it. But, I have been using RPN calculators for 25 years, and that experience cannot be taken for granted. I think the 31S is a much easier calculator to approach by someone new to RPN. Although it's perfectly possible to *ignore* all the programmability features of the 34S, they represent a fair bit of noise to filter off by a newcomer to RPN. Besides, when was the last time a simple, non-programmable *scientific* RPN calculator was available? 2 or 3 decades ago?

(That said, I'd still love the idea of endowing the 31S with a formula editor à la 33s/35s to enable solve/integrate. But, that's still far less conceptual complexity *for most users* than RPN keystroke programming.)

I have 2 34S's and 4 more HP30B's or so sitting in a drawer ready to be flashed. But, I need to get a couple of those 31S overlays first!
