The Blue 48GX is better, but nowhere near as clear and readable as the Black LCD units. Also, the GX is faster then the SX and has many additional commands and capabilities.

The 48SX is better looking IMHO (color scheme and keyboard layout), but it sounds like you're getting it to use and not just for collecting; the 48GX is the better choice for that.

Whichever one you get, I strongly suggest you read Bill Wickes' book "HP-48 Insights, Part I", which is also on the MoHPC USB Doc. set (I could not tell if you have that or not from your post). While it is not really an "Intro to 48" type book, it explains RPL and how to use it FAR better than any of the HP manuals, and in fact better than any other books or sources I've ever seen.

Hi Bob, I'm an old die hard 48SX user as well since I used this calculator through university. I'm interested in this book you reference above as well as "MoHPC USB Doc Set". What is that and where do I get it? Thx Scott

I used my HP-48SX for over 27 years as my primary engineering calculator so it is near and dear to my heart.

The "MoHPC USB Doc Set" or Museum Document Sets is available from this site at the following link. It is a great resource to have.
