That way, you can evaluate the interface for both at your leisure before deciding to purchase either. Most other HP calculators also have PC emulators, though you may have to hunt a little for them.

I second the recommendation of trying emulators before you buy. Free42 is another excellent emulator, available for cell phones as well as PC's

If you have no HP calculator programming experience you would be well advised to try programming both RPN and RPL models to see which (if any!) you prefer.
