In the next month or so I will be afforded the opportunity to buy a new Mac.
My questions are:

1) Is the IIci worth $1000 more than the IIcx?
      I know that the IIcx would require a video card, and that puts the two
      within $500 of each other.

2) What is the real FEEL of the difference in performance?
      I would rather have a FEEL of speed comparison than a benchmark
      comparison.

3) Is there enough software out there that doesn't work with the IIci to
   make it not as attractive a buy as the IIcx??

P.S. Keep in mind that I work regularly on an SE and that either computer will
     be a tremendous step up in the world for me.
