Yeah, in terms of programming capability, they easily trump the 65, and can hold their own against - if not surpass - the 67. Shame about the algebraic entry which tends to complicate program logic (and you've already got unmerged steps working against you). The build quality was no match for the HPs, either, and it seems like the TIs are a bit slower (I don't have a real 67 to compare with).

On the other hand, the solid state software modules were pretty cool.

You can get them pretty cheaply on ebay. Just be prepared to clean out a leaky battery pack, and solder in a 3xAAA receptacle to fill with NiMHs.
