But what about a Classic versus an (also *heavily* discounted) *SE* (with 800k floppies)? (I would guess *used* SE's (with 2-800k floppies could be had for something around $900-$1000. Yes?) Obviously, the Classic's HDFD is an advantage. (A 1 year warranty is an advantage for the Classic, too.) Its performance is (marginally) better, too (due to the 512k ROMs?). But what about the SCSI performance? Any other factors or considerations?
