(1) I don't think you have to worry about that. Just an opinion here.    
(2) It seems as if many new games are taking Mac II compatibility into
    account, though it's hard to say how many of the existing games will
    be rewritten.
Unless games (particularly arcade games) and portability are a big concern, 
I'd go for the II. I prefer the II's larger, color screen, as it feels less
cramped and easier on the eyes. The open architecture is also a big plus.
