Some estimates I have made recently (based on selling prices for Mac IIs I have
seen here and elsewhere) suggest that you will have to spend something on the
order of $1000 to take this upgrade path.  That's cheaper than upgrading your
Mac II, though (if I'm going to take the latter course, I'd just as soon wait
for a faster CPU/bus).

I believe they did.  It looks like they are now trying to clear out their
inventory of both II's and SE's; look at the "Apple Pays Half" promotion,
which applies to these two, but not to the SE/30 or the IIcx.
