Well, heck, then what is the difference between the O2 and the O2+?
The r5.2k and r12k are available in both.  The both have the same
number of expansion slots, the same graphics resolutions and
refreshrates, the same SCSI system, the same ethernet.  The r12k on
the O2+ will go a little faster, but not a whole lot.  I was under the
impression that the big difference was the max ram capacity.  

The O2+ has a different arrangement (and more limited) choice of
serial ports it seems, but I don't recal hearing anyone else comment
on this.  They don't offer the 1600SW on the O2+, but they don't offer
the 18" TFT on the O2 (although I think you are supposed to be able to
use it anyway).  They offer different harddrives, but this is lame
since either drive option will work in either machine.
