What do you like better about it?

I have only made very little use of the IIgs, but I find it a bit of a strange beast. I would like to play more though.

But remember, it wasn't released until late 1986, less than 6 months before the Mac II arrived. I'd need some convincing that a 2.8MHz 65816, 16bit machine is better than a 16MHz 68020 + 68881 Mac II.

Of course it was 4 or 5 times cheaper!
