Frankly, I think anyone who buys a Plus now is nuts.  Eventually, the 
MacOS will be  endowed with virtual memory.  The 68000-based Plus
can't do it.  Maybe contorted upgrade packages will become available,
but then again, maybe the Plus will just die.  Willing to take that
chance? Hell, wait a few months.  Pluses will be cheap on the
secondary market then.

I have a MacII, and I'm even concerned about impending obsolescence of
the 68020.  God forbid I should have a 68000.

Just remember though, opinions are like assholes.  Everyone has one.
