Honestly, who wants to rekey a 400 step program into a calc (although you could enter a program partially and take a break and then add some more steps and so on)?

Amen! [Whistles, stamps feet, loud applause, etc.]

Never mind a 42SII. All the action is around the 41C - the 41CL, NoVRAM, Clonix, the various mass storage options, all the modules and peripherals still trading on TAS, etc. The 42, although a fine number-cruncher, never reached the frenzied level of activity that surrounded the 41, and (some would say) still does.
