One additional NuBus slot trumps that advantage very nicely.I'm a bit miffed to see that the Q650/800 video system has less maximum bit depth than the Q700, but if one can live with 16 bit color it makes sense.

Over a 20 year period, I was called in to sort out Macs for Alec Jeffreys, the inventor of genetic fingerprinting. When we first met, Alec was using a Quadra 700 which needed to be hooked up to university file servers plus a few patches to get MS Basic(!) working again. The Quadra was overkill for his immediate requirements but served him well when we rolled out Mosaic 2.0 (quickly followed by Netscape 0.9 etc) as a supported service for Mac users. The Quadra 700 replaced an SE/30 IIRC which continued to be used by other members of the lab.We'd seen way too many changes in computing over such a short period of time by then to have had that kind of expectation. We'd already bought enough computers that didn't live up to the hoopla built up around new releases to be "waiting" for a rollout unless we were using something that was badly outdated and ready to upgrade.
