One important part of the MacLeak article that was missed,
the Macintosh Classic INCLUDES A 40MB harddisk as well.  So it
comes out cheaper than a Mac Plus.  What I wonder about (and wasn't
specified in the article) is whether the Mac LC and Mac IIsi prices
include monitor, keyboard, etc.  $2500 for a Mac II class machine
is not bad...
