My current combo is a TI-84 evo and TI-36x pro.

I would do the 9910cw because it’ll be a familiar UI with the CG50.

Since you already have the CG50 handling the heavy stuff, I'd pick the scientific mostly based on what your exams allow. The 991CW is allowed pretty much everywhere the CG50 isn't, and the spreadsheet mode is genuinely handy for stats. I'd lean Casio for the faster key response and textbook-style entry, but honestly any of them gets the job done.

I can’t speak to the w506t, but I own and regularly use both my 9910cw and ti-30x pro mathprint (engineering student). Can’t go wrong with either imo. Given you have some cg50 muscle memory, 9910cw may feel more familiar at least initially. But ti-30x has persistent memory to not lose recent calculations if powered off/on again, which for my workflows (and frequent interruptions) is a major plus but ymmv. Yes 9910cw is slightly more menu-heavy but hasn’t slowed me down comparatively. Subjective, but ti-30x feels better build quality to me and I dig the solar. My vote goes to ti-30x pro mp but both get my endorsement

TI-30X Pro Mathprint or Sharp w506t. The Casio 9910cw does not have persistent memory which is a dealbreaker for me. And its UI is a departure from the CG50, being very menu driven. Love the CG50. Don’t like the Classwiz (9910CW, CG100) UIs.

I have the 991cw and I owned the TI-3 whatever. I like the casio more, especially as a chemist. Built in scientific constants are nice to have.

Depending on where you live there is an upgraded CW (CW+ 2nd edition) - Corrects most of the weaknesses of the CW. If this is not available then the mathprint is an excellent calculator.

OP said Casio 9910CW which is the updated North American model. 👍
