Exactly, Druid.
IBM didn't have the best or fastest PCs (although they did have very nice sheet metal work) and are by no means the rarest (other PC brands like Eagle, Columbia and Stearns are far more uncommon). I dumped my 5150 PC with 64K on the mobo for a Taiwanese clone with an 8MHz CPU and 8 slots as soon as I could.
If I were collecting IBM, it seems as if systems like the 6150 RT would be the logical choice. Not just an assemblage of commodity components, but real IBM-unique technology.
