It has a nice 2 line display, and a D-pad, among other amenities.

FX-115ES - Scientific & Financial - Calculators & Dictionaries - Products - CASIO

mstcrow,

One of the reasons I liked the TI BAII+ was that it had equally impressive functionality for both Stats AND Finance. In addition to all the same stat functions that the FX-115ES has, the BAII+ can do such finance operations as: breakeven analysis, profit margin, bonds, npv, internal rate of return, cash flow, discounting, tvm, amortization...etc.

Of course, if one of your other calculators already does those functions then the 115ES might be a great addition to your calculator collection.

For me though, it was worth paying $30 for one calculator that covered both exams.

The 115ES does look like an awesome calculator though.

Take care,
Snazzlefrag
