It was mentioned, I believe, in this month's Computer Shopper (It could have
been PC Magaizine.  The conclusion drawn is that if you have the desk space,
then BUY A REAL MAC!  The emulator takes over the PC, so you can't get any 
other work done (you can't run it in a window or in the background), it *may*
require the ROM from a real MAC!? and it only emulates a circa 1987, 
monochrome MAC!

That doesn't seem like a very good deal when you consider the price of a new
Mac (classic) and the used Macs that are available....

Just my own opinion.  But I wouldn't get one!
