I was planning to buy this when the SE/30 board was ready, but they keep
slipping the date. Meanwhile my dealer informs me that I can have the
SuperMac grey scale for about the list price of the Z21. Furthermore, it
seems that the SuperMac is going to be ready sooner. 

Trouble is...I haven't seen any of these: (SuperMac, Z21, or Apple) and I'm
not sure a sample of one per vender would be representative of what I'd
get. I guess the Apple isn't even an option for the SE/30 is it?

I read recently that grey scales refresh the screen much faster than color.
Currently I only need monochrome, but I thought if the grey scale doesn't
cost that much more, I'd have more options for taking in work in the 
future. But I don't want to go back to that slow speed I experienced the
first few weeks with the small Apple color monitor on a Mac II. 

Anyone have any guidence?
