Perhaps, but the SE/30 ROMS also get you Color QuickDraw.  And the SE/30 also
comes with the SWIM chip for the FDHD, and the Apple sound chip.  And 
then you still have the vacant PDS slot.

I still would consider an accelerator for my SE, but it would have to
be priced much lower than the SE -> SE/30 upgrade to be an attractive
alternative.
