The 2300 is a very nice machine - all small and compact like the rest of the Duo line but powerful enough to run at a decent speed. The lack of a SCSI port is a pain (but, as you said, a mini-dock gets around it)(heck, even a built-in floppy port would have been something) but at least it has built in serial and ADB sockets so for small file transfers good old AppleTalk is really handy.

Mucho jealousy on the 56Mb though
