One big advantage of the non-cx variety is that I've been debating doing a hardware mod involving keypads, which would unfortunately exclude CX devices.

CX is slower, but is it still quick, or is it slow like 83/84 basic?

yes, certainly... but as soon as you use graphics (real TI.images i mean) or a lot of colors you see the difference..

To be honest, I still like the 83/84 series the most AS CALCULATORS.  I'm not that familiar with the prism, and the Nspire is too much like a computer.  That's great, but the touchpad sort of drives me crazy when I'm playing games.

that's absolutely true, if you just touch the thouchpad somewhere (not pressing it) and you want to press an arrow with another finger is doesn't work.. but that's with both the cx and no cx, so you should go back to the clickpad :)

Despite how awesome the cx is, I still want an optional clickpad keypad for the nspire!

Oh, and btw: touchpad is what you have on your laptop.  touchscreen is, well a touchSCREEN.
