I think the TI 84+ is the best!
(but maybe I just think that because i only have a TInSpireCX-CAS and many calcs of the 83-family!)

I like the 84+ series the best because it has a wider range of cool games and is more popular. However I like the Prizm better for both power and its ASM/C color potential. I like the Nspire a bit because of the games on it, but I dislike how TI closed the platform. As for 68K I liked them but almost nobody use them anymore, same for 86. :(

If I could get 2 calcs, Id get 84+se and CX. But since I already have an 83+, I'm closer to buying a cx

I really dont care that much about color. I kinda like the novelty of grayscales.

Yeah that's true, although I guess it's kinda cool to be able to play Doom in color in classes on a non-blurry screen.

The Nspire Clickpad screen is so blurry that the game is almost unplayable x.x

Not on the Nspire. Have you tried playing Super Mario Deluxe on the gbc4nspire emulator? Calc84maniac had to drop the framerate to 15 images per second to increase playability and reduce the blur, yet it's still barely playable. Games with no grayscale backgrounds are generally fine, though.

nspire cx doesn't have full ndless yet, so we're talking about non-color one.
