Actually its comparable to a Mac Plus with a 25Mhz '030 upgrade. Why?
Its because Amax (& Spectre for the Atari) use the 128k roms from a Plus.
The IIci uses the 512k roms which contain ColorQuickdraw for instance.
Unless conditions really change, Amax and Spectre will be stuck at the
Plus level for quite awhile.
