Well, I would list the hard drives as the same size since both machines use the
same Quantum drive and I would list the UXB at 5 megs RAM since you can use
chip RAM. Of course, RAM prices are such that the difference in RAM sizes is
ignorable.
While the NeXTStation's 68040 is very nice, I wouldn't buy one because of the
lack of expandability (zero slots compared to the Amiga's four) and because I
do not like the NeXT as a development system from my two year's experience
with them; however, I have no experience with the A3000UXB so I don't know that
it would be better, but I do like my AmigaOS development system much better
than the NeXT's.

Ah, I remember having that problem :-). Good luck.
