I've been using a Mac Plus for a year, and so far I've encountered
scarcely anything that an SE can do that a Plus can't. You're aware that
the Plus doesn't have the SE's expansion slot. You also say that you
"don't care about having an external hard disk." It's much more difficult
to find a good internal hard drive for the Plus than for the SE. I can
promise you: you WILL want a hard drive for your Mac--it's becoming
increasingly difficult to run the latest software without a hard drive.
The SE is a little bit faster than the Plus on some operations. But
I've never been able to see any reason to spend almost a thousand dollars
more for an SE.
