It blows away the NeXT, and one of the only competitors would be the DECstation or maybe the A3500 w/68040 @ 50 mhz. (There are other workstations that would do, but with the SPARC II, NeXT is ouw of the picture. And a Cray blows away a SPARCstation II!!! The SPARCstation II costs three times as much as a NeXT Station. The SPARCstation II has a SPECmark of 21. I haven't seen any SPECmarks for the new NeXT, but it's probably around 14. You also seem to have forgotten about the IBM RS/6000 series. They have a very good price/performance ratio. And then there is the MIPS Magnum... -Mike BTW: Motorola doesn't even have the bugs out of the 25MHz 040. Don't you think the A3500 w/ a 50MHz 040 is wishful thinking at this time?
