I don't think the Mac II is suddenly obsolete. The "average" user has no 
need for six slots, true. The "average" user really needs only one, for 
the monitor. But a lot of us developers need the extra slots, for ethernet 
boards, co-processors, multiple monitors, and products under development 
that run on NuBus cards. We don't necessarily need the extra speed or the 
fancy floppy drive, so we can save the extra bucks that the IIx costs over 
the II.
