I think you should really look into the SE/30 now
especially with the new price cuts. I have one, and
have several friends with them. I don't know anyone
that has had problems with them and I have upgraded
memory and installed a hard drive with no problems at
all.
 The si is a nice machine, and if you want a larger
monitor than the SE/30, than it would be a better
route. The disadvantage of the si is it does not come
with a co-processor, and there is presently less third
party upgrades for it--but I'm sure this will/is
changing. Also of course, if portability is a concern,
than the SE/30 is the way to go.
