Is a Casio Cg-100 worth it for A levels?

I'm studying a level Maths, Chemistry and Economics.
Is a Casio CG-50 or 100 worth it?
I do have a job and can pay for it by myself.

yes, maths gets a million times easier because it removes the **** work like solving polynomials yourself

also good for chemistry, no clue about economics

The CG 100 can take rechargeable batteries and is the latest technology too.
Check to make sure it's allowable by your exam board in exams!

Probably not.
I used an fx-991EX for maths/fm/physics and it was fine. It solves simultaneous/polynomial equations, calculates integrals, and does all the stats bits for like £20. I think the more expensive ones are a bit bloated and gimmicky.

Yes both CG50 and CG100 are allowed by Pearson Edexcel, AQA, OCR, WJEC, Edquas, CCEA, CAIE, IB, SQA and Oxford International too.

Doesn't any standard calculator (e.g. fx-991EX) do everything you need to with polynomials?
