The extra cost of a WGS9650 over a 9600 was due to the scsi card, large drive, and presumably extra RAM (small RAM in the order of 32MB was stock, remember, and not nearly enough for a server), all of which were a big deal back in 1997-8, but mostly due the the AppleShare software, which drove up the cost about another $1000.
A 604ev machine is a good deal different than a 604e machine with extra cache, but $15k sounds a little de trop for one, methinks, all the same. Maybe it was ordered at the time with a bucketful of RAM and with the printer?
