I once read (in MacWeek I think) that one of the problems of doing a
color SE is that color CRTs have longer necks on them and don't easily
fit into the SE case.  I'm sure there is a hardware person out there
somewhere that would know whether this is legit or not.

It is true that color CRT's, especially data grade ones, have longer
necks. But that is not a reason not to offer one. There is ONE and
ONLY one reason Apple would not sell a color Mac cheaper that a 
Mac II : they figure that they will make more money that way. All
Mac are far overpriced, compared to what one gets in top-notch
PC clones (and, at the price IBM sells to large organizations,
a genuine IBM lemon.) It would be trivial to make a bigger case.
It is also true that color drawing takes more horsepower than
mono - all Mac's are underpowered, and a less than Mac II would
likely be too slow, even for mac, people who are used to sluggishness.
