I have been following the NeXT groups for almost a year.
I am also a NeXT Registered developer.
I wanted to buy NeXT machine with color, but prices have
not dropped in the past 9 months.

So, I'm going to buy a HoUSE instead.  Sad to admit, but
the choice has come down to a HoUSE or a NeXT machine.

Why?

10. The down payment on a HoUSE (around here) is less than the cost
    of a NeXT configured the way I need it... and I don't need a
    student discount.
 9. HoUSEs are somewhat upgradable
 8. HoUSEs go up in value (unless you're in New England)
 7. There are more games available for HoUSEs
 6. I can buy pieces for a HoUSE from many different vendors
 5. When buying a HoUSE, I don't have to wade through volumes
    of propaganda. (Just volumes of forms)
 4. I don't have to wait for the next version to get rid of bugs.
 3. Japan doesn't have %30 of the stock in my HoUSE
 2. 3 years from now, my HoUSE will not be obsolete

And the number one reason why I'm buying a HoUSE instead of NeXT:

 1. No one will describe my HoUSE as "insanely great."
