My advice is to get a full-nut machine. This preserves the option to upgrade to a 41CL (highly recommended) some day, as half-nut machines cannot be upgraded. I believe the only advantage of a half-nut machine is they support lower-case letters for the full alphabet (vs. a-e only for full) however there are almost no programs that requires this, since so many full-nut machines had been sold by that time. Lastly, there are far more full-nut machines out there, so it's likely a full-nut would be cheaper. Of course, a CX is strongly recommended over a C or CV, if you intend to actually use it, as it includes the Time and Extended Mem/Functions modules. Note that if you do plan to upgrade to a 41CL, any machine (C, CV, or CX) can be upgraded and that upgrade will have all the CX features included, except you will need a real Time module if you want a clock (true even for a CX since original board w/crystal is replaced)

We will of course expect to see teardown photos when you get your coconut machine.
