Frank,

There is an article in the latest copy of MacWorld that suggests the best
systems for different jobs.  The machine I think they recommend is a real
race horse.  For professional publishers they suggest the PowerMac
8500/120 and some really spendy printers and a 20 or 21 inch monitor.

The PowerMac 7100/100 is good for business and professional work.  It will
be able to upgrade to the PowerPC 604 chip (that the above machine uses).

For the Home Office they suggest the Performa 5125CD, the PowerMac
7200/75, or the Power Computing Power 100 (a licensed Macintosh clone).

The article in the February 1996 issue might help you decide what you
want.  Hope this helps.
