Which is better? Are they RPN? (Just kidding) (Why) are they better than the
Windows calculator? Is the base selection easy (unlike the HP48x, where it
seems to be an afterthought).

The thing I really miss on my lost, lamented HP16C is the variable word-length
selection, which the windows calc.exe has, but with only 3 choices- 8, 16, 32
bits.
