They look like academic prices to me. If they are this is not a fair comparison, it should either be list or academic for both not a mixture. I suspect that the NeXT prices will still be cheaper than the Mac prices but the situation is much better now. However I would like to see the Mac prices even lower, but I guess that goes without saying.
