I've often heard people say Macs are premium computers (like the BMW of the computer world), hence their tendency to be more expensive.  I always thought SCSI had its advantages over other interfaces like MFM and IDE, but it did have its disadvantages too.

Side note, I know someone who had an early professional-level digital camera around 2000 or 2001, which used a SCSI interface..  I thought it was weird to see a digital camera using a SCSI interface for copying its photos to a PC, but now that I think about it, that probably makes sense.  It probably would have showed up as just another SCSI drive.
