Maybe my original question wasn't clear.  I can't afford an IBM or a 4D/35.
I can't even afford a 4D/25 (which would be fast enough for me).  I can
afford a 4D/20 and asked about its performance.

The budget is fixed because my organisation works that way.  I simply
cannot go overbudget.  So if anyone can answer my original query it
would be appreciated (I got one answer so far).
