In alpha mode you probably care less about the stack depth. Still likely to be confusing.

I see it's always a tradeoff between keeping things consistent between 34s and 31s, and possible improvements in handling and usage. There are quite a few things that are done differently on the 31s, compared to the 34s. So I do not think that the down-arrow annunciator would confuse 31s users just because it signals lowercase alpha entry on the 34s. This is also true for the problem with the big D for DP mode that is not available on the 31s (neither the mode nor the D ;-)), so the respective problem will never arise on a 31s.

Bit has already implemented some nice improvements that are only available on the 31s, but not on the 34s. I think a better stack size indicator could be another 31s-specific improvement.
