Good summary, Gene.
I'd add that the 1400 keyboard is widely favored over the 3400's. Both are
very nice machines overall, as you say.

Higher RAM ceiling (144 vs 64 MB) and PCI vs NuBus architecture would be my
main reasons. Other considerations/comparisons:
- 1400 can be easily upgraded to G3, no upgrade path for 3400. A 3400/240
running OS 8.1 or 8.6 could be fast enough for your uses, though.
- 1400's small form factor and light weight compared to 3400.
- Config details, peripherals and price point will almost certainly vary
widely on the used market. If you stumble into a nice bundle at a good
price, go for it -- don't hold out for a particular model 'Book because of
some arbitrary set of specs/standards in your head. If properly configged
you should be quite content with either model.
