I'm not sure there is any real trade-off to be had.  The cheap
Sun 3/50 is usually maxed out at 4MB in most configurations.
Most people who demand preformance do exactly what you suggest,
run multiple windows out to various more powerful machines.
It is not easy to load a 3/50 up with more memory (we'd love it
if it were) and the other Sun's (yes I know about 3/60's) that
can accomodate more memory at the workstation cost a substantial
amount of money.
