I would strongly recommend people compare with Casio graphing calculators, especially in regards to the computational speed. This video does an excellent comparison[youtube.com] between the Casio FX-CG50 and the TI-84 Plus CE color graphing calculators. The Casio absolutely blows away the TI in calculation speed. See the 5:42 and the 6:35 mark for sample calculation and graphing head to head speed comparisons.
Both Target[target.com] and Amazon[amazon.com] are currently selling the Casio FX-CG50 for $81. And if you don't need a color screen, the Casio FX-9750GIII is available for around $50.
The main issue that students may encounter is that some teachers only want TI calculators in class because that is what they use to demonstrate calculations with. CASIO has a Youtube playlist[youtube.com] that shows how to do functions on the Casio compared to how they are done on the TI, so a smart kid should be able to figure things out without the teacher's help.

Your main issue is a big one.
As a nerd, contrarian, and former (terrible) math teacher, I get the appeal of the Casio models.
However, also as a former (terrible) math teacher, I think it's important to recognize that a lot of students are sometimes hanging on by a thread in math class. For a kid who doesn't quite "have it" yet, pushing a slightly different button to enter an equation or having the default scale on the graph be a little different can be a really big problem.

Same price as Walmart which gives you a 90 day return (in case it turns out high school math teacher prefers another model over this).
