	A) Given that your users like them so much, I would guess that X
terminals would result in higher productivity - I know I work much faster when
I an working on hardware/software I like...

	B) I don't know if this will help you but we need X because we
do a lot of image processing work and the graphics capabilities are wonderful-
we also have several different types of machine and one graphics program can
run on all of them.  This is nice.

Hope this helps.
