If that were the case, then everything would be OK, but mostly I have a different impression. I have read negative comments on the Prime or 35s in many posts (often without any explanation), but I've never noticed that with the 50g or 42s. On the other hand, many hymns to the 50g an 42s, not so much to the 35s.

Even in this thread only disadvantages to the Prime or 35s were named, none to the 50g/42s. It almost seems as if the 35s and Prime are not recommended and the 42s and 50g are nearly perfekt and error-free.

For my personal needs the 35s and 42s are equal as daily used calculators and even 50g and Prime would be similar replacements for my 48g(+).
