Most computer purchases are aesthetics. Seriously, what is there real
difference between 1's and 0's on differing devices? If design wasn't
a factor, then one could do the same job on any computing device. The
application (regardless of brand) still types up letters, browse the
internet, blah, blah, blah.

Ah, so it comes down to aesthetics.
This is obviously a matter of taste. All the compact Macs look
pretty similar to my eyes, and the "racing stripes" on the SE and
SE/30 are a pretty standard way of hiding ventilation.
But for me the compact line ended when it quit improving. After
the SE/30, the Classic and Classic II were more like nostalgic
reflections of the original Mac than a successor to the SE/30...
none of the compacts had enough expansion capability to really
worry about, especially when Apple changed the PDS slot after the
SE/30 so new internal expansion devices couldn't be used in it.
But going back to a 16-bit data bus was such an appallingly cynical
move that I was stunned. What was Apple thinking of?
The Color Classic with its "welding mask" fascia is not even worth
talking about.
Both the SE and the Classic were "houses on a small lot". They have
the same floor plan, they have virtually the same design. But for
some reason all the doors in the "Classic" house are half-size...
