If you are looking for a E6-B I would recommend purchasing a PDA that will allow you the ability to do other things other then flight calcuations.
Check http://www.palmflying.com/calce6bo.htm for a list of editor's picks on the best ones to purchase.

PDAs rock (that is the windows ones, not the crappy palms)
they is a porgram called apic that is like a little glass panel, you can even get a weather overlay. along with ALLOT of free programs
yet another idea is a Ti-83 graphing calc, programming it with the equations. I had one laying around found the formulas and bada bing.

Re: Electronic E6B comparison
I'm surprised I have not been in this thread breaking off about using my manual E6B. "Hurr hurr, the batteries never fail."
Ok so fine I will continue to carry it in case of the electronic one I just purchased failing, but it will probably be useless since I won't be able to use it due to a lack of currency.
If you get good with a manual slide rule you can out run a calculator but it's rare.
Get to the point? Right, sorry.
I just dropped a little over a hundred bucks at Calgary Pilot Supply physical location. Why? Because I made the mistake of asking to play with the ASA CX-3 in their display case.
Soon I was quickly doing calculations I would probably get wrong with my wiz wheel.
Anyone farmiliar with me might have recalled, I would prefer to light a fire and cook a nice piece of meat for a sandwich to watching television, I like to fly with a paper VNC, time piece, flight plan and pencil, but... I love this thing.
