   The book arrangement was great on a desk stand, but for handheld use,
I left it folded, and was forced to keep turning the thing over to reach
the keys I needed.  Like everything, it hand pluses and minuses.
 
   Personally, I though the case of the 28C/S had a cheap feel.  The 48
has a much more solid heft...
