You want the 83. The 85 is for science or comp sci people.
The 83 has all the built-in stats and financial functions you'd ever need, is
easier to use, easier to program, and has the newer,better black-on-gray
screen instead of the blue-on-green of the others. I use all four calcs on a
daily basis with my students, and nearly always recommend the 83. The 83
is far superior in regards to its list capabilities than the 85, and has
the table feature
which no program quite duplicates. I grab my 85 if I want to play a cool
game, otherwise
it sits!
