I have a 68040 Cube, a Turbo Color slab, and my primary Sun is a 2xSM61 SS20
with an 8MB VSIMM. As you would expect, the SS20 kicks butt over either
NeXT, but as others have stated here, the OS/desktop integration and "user
experience" of OpenStep/NeXTStep is hard to beat once you are used to NeXT
way of doing things. 

I did have NeXTStep 3.3 up on my SS20 for a while, and it ran great, even
without the second processor doing anything. Same seamless experience, just
faster <grin>.

As far as "serious" work goes, or needing to acquire/run newer software,
it's much more efficient to work with the SS20. But I _don't_ want to get
rid of my NeXT's! <grin>
