Spectre is well worth the extra dough - it will run many many more
programs than Magic Sac and is *much* faster in all respects.  The
use of 128K over 64K ROMS is also an obvious improvement and results
in a much higher degree of compatibility - not to mention that the
128K ROMS are the largest installed base and will be the MAC standard
for years to come (at least as a base.)  ROMS can be had for around
$125-175 last time I checked - but be warned that Apple has sent notice
to dealers asking them not to sell ROMS - so buy now.  GCR is a very
REAL product and is being displayed at the World of Atari - advance orders
are being taken now and shipping will begin in late July - Early August.
I just received notice of the trade-in for GCR (now $100!)  GCR carries
a price of $299 sans ROMS.
