No, it isn't, you're right.  I forgot to add the disclaimer that says...

---disclaimer---
  These are hypothetical numbers only, and someone else dreamed them up
anyway.

My sole point was you can't compare the cost of a Amiga 2500AT with a
MAC II, because a 286 coprocessor board must be bought separately for
the MAC II, and the price of the 2500AT includes it.

As other people have pointed out, I wouldn't be surprised if a 2500AT
_still_ costs less than a MAC II, even without a 286 board.
