All computers are doomed to obsolescence.

Before I would buy any Mac right now, I would wait until after MacWorld.
New models may be introduced, old models may be obsoleted, and prices may
change. Or none of the above may happen.

Anyway, back to your subject. The advantages of an SE over a +
	1) 10 to 15% faster {Noticable???}
	2) can have second disk drive internal if no internal hard drive
	    is present.
	3) Internal hard drives are plentiful (I'm not sure anyone is making
	   internal hard drives for the + anymore} Internal hard drives tend
	   to be about $70 cheaper then external drives.
	4) The SE has a space for a dealer installed card.

On the other hand, the + like the SE can be upgraded to 4 Meg RAM {same cost}.
Both use the same microprocessor, have the same screen size & resolution.
The + has a LARGE installed base & will probably run anything that the 6800
SE can run. You might save enough buying a + instead of an SE to purchase
a hard drive {I haven't priced them lately}.

I am suprised that Apple hasn't discontinued the + a year ago. When they do,
I suspect that they will be heavily discounted for quick sale. 

Considering the price difference, and simularity, I would go ahead & purchase
a + over an SE even if the Plus is obsoleted in the near future. There's a
ton of software, and it new software should remain compatable as long
as Apple is still producing 6800 Macs (All bets are off if Apple discontinues
all 6800 Macs next month}. 

I think the real question is not a SE vs a + but how much RAM to get. 
1 Meg just isn't what it used to be...sigh.
