I'd say this was an unfair comparison fellas.
 
For one thing, the 680x0 is a 32bitter (at least they were until the 
68030 came out....) and the 65816 is a 16bit cpu.
 
Why not compare the 65816 with the 6502 eh?  Seems to me that puts things 
into the proper perspective.
 
Besides, like a friend of mine tells us... It's not which is *better*, 
but which you are more *comfortable* with.  For me that gives the 65x an 
edge that the 680x0 wont have for some time.
