I have both. I also have the 48G. I find the difference between the 89 and
92 is mostly in the fact that the 89 is vertical format and handier to move
around. I find the 92 is harder to read, the image is just not as clear,
and it is for that reason I seldom use it. The 92 has geometry capabilities
not found in the 89, if that matters. My choice for getting through the day
as a math student is the 89.
Hope that helps.
