We've got an old, old '20 cube running (cough) NS 1.0 and want to upgrade it
a bit. The problem is that I called up the people at NeXT and they told me
that I can do one of two things;

1: Upgrade to the new turbo 33MHz '40 board, add a new CD-ROM (the optical
   won't work with NS 3.0), an internal floppy, and some memory. That'll let
   us use NS 3.0.

Or...

2: Upgrade to the new turbo 33MHz '40 board and get NS 2.2. The optical will 
   still work and the price is definately lower.

The questions I have is "what do you think about these two setups?" and 
"is there a better solution?" I've got a limited budget so the price does
make a difference (ie. the cheaper the solution the better), but I can always
push for more funds.

I'd prefer it if you could email your responses, but post if you feel you must.
If there is an outcry (yeah, right), I'll post the collected answers. 

Thanks a ton!
