Worldesign used three Ultra 1's to power our most recent version of
the Virtual Environment Theater.  We did not have access to Ultra 2's
and it was our understanding that Ultra 2's, which are due out in
April, were necessary to support the Creator 3D hardware.  The Ultra
1's were very impressive on a cost/performance basis.  I think
comparing workstations is fruitless, as each has its own
characteristics that make for more or less satisfaction on the part of
the user, depending on the application at hand.  Learn to work with
them all and you'll never be disappointed with what you have.
