DM42 vs hp49gp (performance-wise)

[gour]

My choice is now actually between DM42 & HP Prime...

I wonder how much memory (out of 32 MBit external flash according to the spec) is available for user's programs...Urania's web site mentions that it is "...total of about 500kB programs and data" - of course , I do not need all of its features, but mostly just Ephemeris, but I need to build many things on that, so maybe DM42, although being very nice calc, is a bit short on memory?

Otoh, not being able to access HP Prime as USB media storage under Linux sucks...

Any rough estimation, how much faster is Python over PPL?

Is it actually worth to dive into PPL or (Micro)Python is future for HP Prime?

Quote:Both languages on the prime are very different from RPL or RPN so it will require some effort to port programs you may have to the Prime.

I'm aware of that, but in any case I probably have to build from the scratch incrementally...
