[advantages of purchasing a NeXTstation Color computer with MegaPixel grayscale
monitor deleted}

As of the Spring 1991 List Prices catalog, the price differential between a
NeXTstation and NeXTstation Color computer (pizza box without monitor,
keyboard, etc.) has increased by $1,000 to $1,875 and the 17" MegaPixel Color
monitor has decreased by $1,000, so the total price of a complete NeXTstation
Color has remained unchanged.  So this price restructuring makes purchasing a
3rd-party color monitor or running a MegaPixel grayscale monitor on a
NeXTstation Color pizza box less attractive by $1,000.  I guess the
manufacturing cost differential between the grayscale and color CPU boards is
greater than NeXT thought.

The only other significant price changes I could find were a $1,000 decrease in
the cost of a NeXTdimension system with 17" Color display (related to the
above) and a $500 increase in the cost of the 21" Color display.
