Can you clarify a few things, from your comments it's a bit hard to tell for sure:

1. Do you prefer RPN?
2. Have you used RPL (advanced flavor of RPN with far more power, but also more complex to learn)?
3. Do you plan to program the machine or is a rich set of built-in commands preferable?
4. Would you be open to a community sourced solution? (running advanced s/w on existing commercial machines)
5. What application areas are you interested in - EE, ME, CE, Pure Math, Statistics, Probability, etc.?
6. Will you use a CAS if available?
7. What is the best machine you've used in the past?

These answers will make it easier to provide advice useful for what you want (vs. what all of us prefer to promote )
