I guess it really depends on how cheaply you can find the 1.25GHz & 1.42GHz G4 PowerMacs, compared to the cost of buying an older, slower G4 PowerMac & 1.4GHz G4 CPU upgrade. I have been fortunate to have found MDD G4's at very low prices.
No, I'd probably go with the MDD TOO. The MDD offers a slightly improved drive controller and a slight edge in performance (at comparable CPU speeds).
Besides, you're right, MDDs can be had at a minimal premium over older Powermacs.
G4 Powermacs will provide expansion slots, but for faster CPUs we're going to have to wait for G5s.
