At "straight" list price, the best one by far to go with would be
MacCalc, from Bravo.  It's fast, lean, and capable.  Its major
shortcoming, compared to the heavyweights, is lack of graphics.

For a while, it was possible to get Wingz very cheaply (under
$100) by supplying something saying you were an Excel user.
(Officially you were supposed to send the cover page of an
Excel manual or somesuch, though I heard that some people got
it simply by claiming to be Excel owners, without documentation).
Not having seen this promo lately, I assume it's over.  Wouldn't
be a bad idea to check with Informix, though...
