Subject: Why buy a Classic over a Plus?

	Let me start by saying that if I was starting from scratch, I
	would of course buy a Classic.

	However, I'm looking at replacing my Plus logic board for ~$350
	vs. buying a Classic for ~$850, and I'm trying to find a reason
	why I should spend the extra $500.

	I understand that I'd get a 1.2M floppy, room for an internal
	HD, and nice mini-8 connectors, but that doesn't seem like
	enough to justify the cost. Both machines even have the same 68000,
	running at the same speed, I believe.

	I would like to know exactly what the differences are between
	the 128K ROMS and the 256K ROMS. Will sticking with 128K give me
	a performace penalty, or the possibility of not being able to
	run some future applications? (The two machines are supposed to
	be totally backward and forward compatable, right ;-)?

	Thanks for any and all advice.
