I'm entering this in mid-stream, and hence, out of context, however, as an
owner of a NeXT dimension, I can say that the image IS better than the Color
station.  Not a world of difference, but more 'depth'.  The steps are yet
visible across subtle shade changes on a color station, they are all but
invisible on a ND.  I studied both, in detail, at NeXTWorld.
