Yep, I'd say go for the 3400 if you can afford it. If you do go for the
1400, I'd suggest the 1400/133c at a minimum. You're right to go for the
active matrix display; but the 117 is just way too slow. Your 7100 /8100
is faster (SCSI drive, L2 cache). I have a 1400/117 sitting here now and
it's just too frustratingly slow (even my old 5300/100 was slightly
faster because it had less demanding graphics requirements).
The 3400s, at the right price, are the bargains of the piece right now.
For a 1400 v. 3400 comparison, see here:
