I don't keep track of prices for the various configurations.  However, the 
12.5MHz models come with several things standard that are optional in the 10MHz 
models, e.g., 16MB memory standard vs. 4MB and an FPA card using the ADSP
3210/3221 instead of the 68881.  I think the default disk may be larger, also.
