I tried the HP 15C version, I liked it and it was cute to have the calculator that I used in college on my Ax. However, I couldn't justify paying for it when StatsNow has a freeware program (CalcNow) that is also RPN and also shows the stack.

It was actually an old DOS RPN calculator program that taught me how to use RPN. When you can see the keystrokes you save by using the stack, the benefits of RPN become clear. After playing with the DOS program for a while, I didn't need to see the stack anymore to use it.
