Yes, but you'll have a Mac Plus!

Seriously, the Classic has the nicer keyboard, will not be discontinued by 
Apple and is overall, well, nicer looking.  Also, it is about 20% faster than 
the Plus (kinda like the SE) and sports an internal hard disk.

Overall, you'd be much happier with the Classic, except for the keyboard that 
now sports the idiotic PC style layout that Apple has (unbfortunately) grown 
fond off (you know, the ones with the CAPS LOCK and CONTROL key in the wronmg 
places)
