I'm not a collector but have some Pioneers like a few 32SII, 20S, 27S, 10B (besides the 'battleships' ;-). I can say that *every* one of them feels different. It's not only tactile feedback or painted/injected legends, but also the material or the finishing is different. My Singapore 32SII has extremly glossy keys despite heavy use, feels very soft (some would say mushy). To this degree, I haven't seen it on any other calculator. It is very comfortable. My Singapore 20S has dull and quite stiff keys, while my Singapore 27S is somewhat between them.

Very strange but interesting.
