4-banger?

Also, if the letter designators are really wanted, isn't there room on the key-front legends (similar to the way it is done on the Prime?)

Please let me begin at the end: I didn't realize the Prime being such a success story keyboard-wise. The letter designators are useful for fast function finding in catalogs as well as for the lettered registers X, Y, Z, T, A, B, C, D, I, J, K, and L. Not every letter is required yet (O, U, and W aren't) but that may change. With respect to their location: The sketch looks different but you cannot put more than 6 characters on a slanted key front and keep readability IMHO. And letters aren't important enough to put them on the key tops of a calculator. YMMV.
