If I were to buy an LED model...

Functionality may go either way depending on which model but all the TIs I have ever owned have been poorly built, paint wore off, and they died untimely deaths. Just no comparison.

My father got an HP67 from his employer in 1977 (or 1978?) and I got my Ti59 in 1979. Both calculators still work after 40+ years and my Ti does not look any worse than when it was new. The original batteries are long dead on both calculators.
But I agree that the bulid quality is not the same, my Ti59 had to be sent for repair once and the keyboard has become somewhat bouncy over the years, but it is still useable. Functionally the Ti59 beats the HP67, it has more memory and the plug-in software modules add lots of extra features. And all that at 1/2 the price of the HP.
But in any case an HP67 belongs in every calculator collection!
