According to both the NeXT press releases and the BYTE article, Nextstations
are not expandable.  There are no slots.  If you buy a monochrome system,
you keep a monochrome system, unless they eventually introduce a tradein
program to move you to the color system.

The "cube" configuration systems can be upgraded, once this fancy NextDimension
board is released.  Around $4000 for a display board, but it sounds like a cool
one.
