Actually, it is pretty damn close.  Plus you get a hell of a lot more
with the NeXT.  And the development environment pretty much kicks butt
on MPW.

Used prices for mono NeXTstations (25 MHz 68040) w/ 8MB RAM and 105 MB
HD with the 17" 4-bit megapixel monitor are averaging about $2700.
This comes with a better development environment than you can currently buy
for the macintosh. 

That's a much better deal than a quadra (even a used one).

New prices run a little higher than a quadra w/ monitor.

(as a side note, Sun is offering SPARC classics now for $4000 new [but
you have to buy 12 ;-) ] or I believe around $8000 new.  It wouldn't
be too hard to dump $8-10k into a Quadra system and it would be very 
S L O W compared to the SPARC.  Plus there's better compilers
available etc...)

Of course I can't afford any of these so this is all just machine-envy
:)
