Big money is laying on my desk waiting to be burned!!

However, I don't wish to be burned, myself.

If you were to buy an SE/30 video card today, of the 8-bit variety,
which would you get: the micron Xceed at $385 or the Supermac Colorcard
at $899? Why?  Can any owners of these products comment (especially
on compatibility issues, if any)?  I'll probably be driving the
Apple 13" RGB monitor with it.

Also, does anyone know of a discount house which sells the Supermac
Card?  I find the Xceed carried by Mac(Zone,Warehouse,Connection),
though none of them have it in stock, but no one carries the Supermac.
In that Supermac doesn't do retail, how do I go about buying one of
these devils?

Thank you thank you and a thousand blessings.
