that all sounds reasonable to me...

I don't think that a 86+ or an 87 would have the symbolic manipulation
features simply because each calculator that they make has to have a purpose
or a niche, and the 89 already fills the symbolic features niche in the hand
held format, and the 92 fills it in the larger format. Most likely there
would be no significant change to an 86+ other than flashrom and more memory.
At least not as significant as adding symbolic features... The higher level
calculator without symbolic features niche that the 86 currently fills would
still need to be supported, and they would gear an 86+ or 87 towards that
end.
