Calculators aren't very exciting things. Funtional and helpful, yes! This TI does everything it says it should.

The Calculator is a professional device. But the manual looks like being written by a newbie.
 Excellent for the CFA exam June 11, 2009

I recently used this one for the CFA level 1 exam, and it worked very well. I have tried the older BA II Plus (not professional) and its almost got the same functionality and smoother buttons. But I like this one too, and this one looks lot better. If they can introduce smoother buttons during their next upgrade, that would be super.
Only problem is, now AMAZON has raised the price to $42 or so. I bought it in late 2008 for $30 or so. I guess they sold way too many or just raised the price because they are the best.
Either way, make sure you carry two of these of the exam. Don't buy another, just borrow from a friend for the exam. But always carry two for the exam.
If you just want to keep it handy for your mortgage or car payment or leases (trickier), or just for personal finance, or even as a basic calculator, it does not hurt to have this one instead.
You have to learn the operations, but if you have some patience, you can learn the operations quickly. Its very user-friendly calculator.
It beats me why HP is more expensive.
Used it for the CFA June 8, 2009

I used this for the CFA (all 3 levels) and I passed all 3 so I can't complain. The calculator works just fine. The only thing that would be nicer is a hard case instead of the soft case it comes with. Other than that it's a great calculator.
BA II Plus Professional May 29, 2009

I admire the BA II Plus Professional, though I do get annoyed of some of the button placement as I'm used to the TI-83 but it's not too hard to get used to. Very useful for Time Value of Money Functions and especially if you're using it for the CFA Examinations. I'd recommend it. The plus side is that it can calculate the Discounted Payback Period (DPB) where the TI BA Plus cannot, the last thing you need is more algebra on a test like the CFA.
