I hate to contribute to this, but ...

There are some basic differences between the machines.  The Amiga
does have built in color.  The $4000 NeXTstation is a monochrome system.
The NeXTstation sports better performance figures (according to others
who know more than I).

I would recommend the Amiga 3000 to someone looking for a cheap UNIX
system that can also do DeskTop Video and killer games.
I would recommend the NeXTstation to someone looking for a cheap UNIX
system for number crunching and scientific applications.

Each machine has qualities that appeal to a certain group of people.
I am not going to buy a Corvette if I need a Lumina (even if the
performance is better :-)).

This is a pointless, tiring argument and I feel cheapened by having 
contributed to it.
