Too many calculators?

11c, 32s (three!), 32sii, 33s (two), 42s, WP34s

My top criteria are very readable display (for aging eyes), keyboard suitable for my big hands, robustness and reliability, a decent equation solver. Oddly, my "beater" 42s is my least favorite because of the less readable display, sensitivity to viewing angle and complex menu system. I use the 32s most of all, because with its simple menu system, I can always find what I need to do quickly. I use Free42 on my phone.

Peter,

I would choose 2 pure RPN models, as you skip RPL ones.
A DM42 and an HP 15C CE (or the DM15L?).
These suit your need and are very capable.

I disliked the 42S in the nineties, the one from my girlfriend : screen, memory, etc. The current DM42 is fantastic : big and legible screen, speed, states, fun to use, a perfect mix of capabilities and useability.
The new 15C collector edition gives a good keyboard feeling, the form factor is so nice, it's beautiful, I'm very happy to have it.

(I never used a HP 32 nor 32 SII.)
