Depends on whether you're a collector or a user. The IIe case has major collector appeal because of its scarity, and it's just one more flavor of IIGS to collect, kind of like collecting all of McDonald's Hello Kitty series. For a user, it'a actually a bottleneck because a few Apple IIGS cards won't fit in the IIe case. And, if the logic board burns out, it's very difficult to find a replacment seeing the logic board needs the IIe keyboard connector and power supply connector.
Not a real problem. Buy any ROM 0/1 and just add or transfer the keyboard connector. Power supply connector? No need, the IIgs power supply is made so it'll mount in a IIe case. Some platinum IIe's came with that power supply though the power supply had a IIe connector.
