This kind of thing is a hard decision. I asked myself, in the grand scheme of microcomputer evolution, how historically important is (for example) the Atari 800 vs all the other 8-bit consumer micros? One could ask the same question about (for example) the TI-99/4A. If either of these didn't exist, would anything be different today? What did either of these bring to the table that others didn't?
By the way, the reason I thought to include the TI system is because of its unique-ish expansion interface.
