[Coco] Which do you prefer and why? CoCo 1/2/3

[Deny Wilson]

In 2004, I paid $45.50 USD for my CoCo 3 on eBay. $9.75 for the Disk system
(I believe that was 2 drives with an FD-501). $87 for the MPI. $83 for the
CoCo 2 w/Accessories (not sure what accessories were there). I paid more
for the CCR-81 than I did for the floppies. Insane.
