Although this is undeniably a true statement in a relative sense, in
absolute terms, at 46.3 watts 'Typical' and 51.0 watts 'Maximum', the
1800+ is a slightly lower power part than any of the model 10's w/ 256k,
especially as regards to max power. If, however, you need more
computing power than the 1800+, then the model 10 w/ 256k is definitely
the way to go.

Also very true. Unfortunately, when I was quietizing my system, I
couldn't find a 1700+ Thoroughbred anywhere. The dozen or so places I
called that were advertising the 1700+ were all selling Palominos, which
is defintely not what you want. But if you can find one, that is
definitely the coolest of the XP's.
