Don't forget that an organization's technical expertise is an important asset, and much of NeXT's current expertise is with the 680x0, not some new chip. New chips mean new compilers, new debuggers, new bugs, and a whole new set of neural pathways. I say, go with what you already know til proven wrong. (And then, go chapter 11 8-).
