Most underrated programmables

I can't imagine a better value than the HP 50g. For 75-80 bucks new it walks all over the popular TIs that are priced from 25 to 90 dollars more (TI 84 Plus, 84 Silver Plus, Ti-89 T). In its price range it has huge RAM, huge performance, SD card support, nicer screen, etc. There's big difference in selling prices between this model which is heavily discounted and the TI models which are very hard to find deals on. In the last six months the TI prices have gone up dramatically. Even then, the 50g had them all beat in price/performance.
