I got slightly different figures when I worked out pricing for
the J3100 that I bought.  (I should mention that the J3100 comes
with 1.5Mb standard).  Figuring the cost of the the T1000 + 768K
RAM + 3rd party backlit LCD upgrade alone brought the price to at
least 10% more than what I paid for the J3100.  Getting the
higher display quality (note that it is only double scan CGA -
you don't have access to all the additional pixels), the higher
capacity drive were a bonus.  I believe this is still true even
when using the heavily discounted price that the T1000 sells for
today.
