MMS: the claim about competing with the Spectrum might apply to some extent, but it's not fully true. It might only apply to the C-116 (you have mentioned the chicklet keyboard yourself), the C-16 has rather been supposed to replace the VIC-20 (AFAIK), whilst the Plus/4 has been supposed to open a somewhat new market (a cheap 8-bit computer with a somewhat serious appearance... just take a look at the built-in software pack). This is what comes to mind, you might want to look up Bil Herd's comments (he wrote about that for a couple of times on different forums, mailing lists and interviews) on the subject for clarity.
