The color capabilities and expansion slot are the only real advantages that I
can see of the SE over the Mac+. If neither of these are wanted. The extra
expense for the SE is large. I would definatly suggest a second drive. It is
"necessary" if you don't want to disk swap all day. The double floppy is (in
my opinion) also not a good justification for the additional cost of the SE.

My opinions change every day, so no one has a chance to agree or disagree.

Summary: From what I have seen, If you don't need (want) color, or the expansion slot, the Mac+ (and additional disk drive) is what you would want.
