Compared to the HP-25 – sure. I would be surprised if a later calculator model of that era would not outperform an older model in terms of features and memory. So does the 29C compared to the SR-56. The 29C appeared one year after the SR-56, just as the latter is one year newer than the 25. The 29C offers more memory (98 fully merged steps and 30 instead of 10 data registers), DSZ and ISZ, indirect addressing, etc... and, most important, continuous memory. That's what you could expect from the next year's calculator generation – just as you can when the SR-56 is compared to the older HP-25.

Let's not forget: there were merely five years between the introduction of the first programmable calculator ever and the "next gen" HP-41 series.
