Tom this isn't x86 the term bang for buck doesn't really apply. well at
least not in the lower end range... people tend to use the sb100/150
because they want to run solaris on a 64bit platform, either because they
are developers and want a cheap devel box, or they are admins who like to
use the one enviroment, what ever the reason these individuals have their
own.
The differences between the 100/150 are fairly lite, 150 has a 550/650Mhz
cpu and can take up to 4gb of Ram, where the 100 has a 500Mhz cpu and is
limited to 2gb of Ram... they are the only real difference i can remember
at the moment.
the sunblade range are just the replacement models for the aging ultrasparc
workstations (5,10, 30, 60, 80) the differences are many and all have many
different configurations.. you'd be best to google and look them up.
on the second hand/ebay market in the US an ultra 60 seems quite cheap and
would be a great learning platform, here in Australia i'd be lucky to see a
single u60 sell all year and when i do a new sb150 is alot cheaper. We
just don't have the second hand Sun market that the US does.. people here
tend to hang onto their Sun equipment.
