I have one, too, but I plan on hanging onto it.  I'm only chiming-in
because the LC475 is a real sweet-spot for certain sorts of Macintosh
fun.

- The CPU is socketed, so it can be upgraded to a full '040, which makes
   this one of the smallest machines a person can reasonably run older
   versions of Mathematica on.  Unfortunately, there's no A/UX support
   for the graphics subsystem of the LC 475 (same HW as the Quadra 605).

- The Apple IIe card is well-supported.

- When not using an Apple IIe card, this machine can make use of a
   ridiculous amount of memory for its size and age, as it accepts 64MB SIMMs.

- There are a variety of communications options; various LC-slot Ethernet
   cards, plus a handful of SCSI-based Ethernet options that can be used
   while the IIe card is installed.
