Hi Doid.
Don't let anyone here (including me :-) ) sway your decision. Firstly ignore all the crap flung about by the various companies, it's very hard to judge what is truth, marketing hype, spin, or pure FUD anymore. Concentrate on what YOU want.
I gathered you had a go on one the pegasos at WOASE, did you like it? Did you feel as if the system could provide what you need/want?
Talk to existing users, ignoring of course the zelots. I'd suggest talking to Spidey (Pegasos) and Coder (A1) both will give you a fairly balanced view on each system (although Coder won't be able to comment on OS 4 until he gets it). It's quite sad, but you really have to be careful who you try to get info from. There are so many zelots about for both sides. Steer well clear of people working on either project, selling either or producing software for either and most of all Bill (B/Mc) worshippers/haters.
If you really are torn between the two wait longer (but obviously not forever) before making that decision, and compare the two properly. This is a large (for most people) amount of money we're talking about here, and should be carefully considered.
But at the end of the day, only YOU can decide :-D
