When I want to program large programs with different features, I use VB.
TI83 teaches me to think of every byte, to hunt for dead code and use the resources I have.
I programmed a panzer game where you can play against two or four different players, or the calcualator (with different levels of difficulty), plus loads of stuff. All in 14 kb, which is less then a bland VB-program!
And with only 26 variables, your memory is tested, so you can reuse them, when they're not used.
So TI83 gives you a real challenge, if you're up to it!
Good Luck,

it all depends on what you use your calculator for. the 85 has a little more features than the 83, but the 83 does matricies better and displays them better. so it all depends on what you do with it.
