I would like to make a new twist in this line of thought. Lets compare 
the Mac Classic with A C64 running Geos. I will Say the Mac is a bit
faster however the price/preformance of the C64 still beats it.

Mac Classic $800 -(A mediating value)

C64 with Geos and a 3 1/2'' Drive will cost around $250.

The C64 also gives you more expansion with the Cartridge and User Ports.
You also cannot discount the fact that the C64 comes ready with Basic!!!
