This is my second X68000 computer. Even though I love my, I did want a model that had the 5.25 drives since 99% of software produced was for that media format. I currently don’t have a Windows system with a 5.25 drive so I am pretty much limited to official software for the Expert though.
So I alternate between both models as needed. My Expert is the grey model which is a bit less common than the black one (albeit a little less good looking as well). It is in good shape, with some yellowing and a few scratches. Most importantly, it is fully functional and it has 2 Mb RAM (required to play some games).
Besides the disk drives, the other main differences between the Expert and the XVI are the HD interface (SASI instead of SCSI), only one speed (10MHz) and a few ICs. All other peripherals are the same (keyboard, mouse, etc). It is funny though to see how different these models are size wise (even though they were only 3 years apart).

The compact is almost half the size of the Expert!
