You really consider that the SE's expansion slot is worth that much?  The
fact that the Classic doesn't have an expansion slot speaks to exactly 
that point.  Apple says that 90% of current SE owners don't even use the
expansion slot.

You also have to look at the economics of buying a used SE and immediately
purchasing an expensive upgrade via the expansion slot vs. the cost of just
purchasing a more capable machine to begin with.  If you're looking for a
black and white machine with 68000-level performance, a Classic is the way
to go.
