Which is better, an AT&T 3B1 or a PC/AT clone?

- a 3B1 is a real 32 bit machine has demand paging capability
- a 3B1 runs UNIX 5.2 (a real unix) which runs GNU
- a 3B1 costs a lot to repair and often times you can't repair
- an AT runs Xenix, DOS, you name it, it runs it.
- an AT is a 16 bit machine with no demand paging capability
- can fix any part in an AT for around $200 or less


What other differences are there? Which is better???
