I can't comment on the upgrade. I can say that I've purchased a few things from Wegener in the past and other than a slow response (I like quick replies immediate shipping) I got my money's worth (and I still look at their specials).
My question for you is: do you like OS X as much as OS 9 on your Wallstreet? I've been interested in the upgrade, but I'm really happy with the speed of OS 9 on my Wallstreet 233.
