Just as a passing question:

And how does the fastest machine in NeXT's lineup today compare with 
a highend clone? (A: It's slower and more expensive.)

Next could do a heck of alot worse than commiting to Intel. Intel is
doing a pretty good job keeping up with the Risc revolution. They seem
to have about a year performance lag with the risc designs and this gap 
has held for the past several years (unlike Moto who keeps falling
further behind.) Plus: Intel has volume like no risc maker can hope to 
achieve in the next several years. This makes for cheap silicon and
that makes for cheaper machines.
