MacIvory vs. MicroExplorer

[Rodney Daughtrey <bcsaic!HUNTSAI!rodney@BEAVER.CS.WASHINGTON.EDU>]

Does anyone know where I can obtain a detailed comparison between the
MacIvory and the MicroExplorer, in terms of features, capabilities,
available software, etc?  A(n) (objective) published review in one of the
trade magazines would be great; user experiences and opinions are also
welcome (be as specific as you like). 

My main objective is to justify the ~10K cost difference between the two.
How do others justify this (e.g. Symbolics' 7.4 superior programming
environment vs. TI's 6.1-like environment, support of CLIM, etc)?

Any information that might help me keep the cost-cutting wolves at bay
is appreciated.
