"-The programming powerhouse for kids"
this is exactly what it was for me. I remember spending many hours programming in basic on my C116, to later discover this magic thing called MONITOR. I knew it's kool but had no idea what machine code or assembly is. I knew I have to learn that thing.
and yes!... the colors! playing with multi Botticelli back then was so fun.
then when I bought C64 I was stunned that the basic is useless and to use MONITOR I have to buy cartridge. the colors were also a disappointment, but... games were so much better 
anyway. c116 family seen from today's perspective were great as a first computer for me.
