You have a few of the machines out of order.  The //e came before the
//c and the //c+ came after the IIgs but I can't remember if it was
before or after the ROM 3 version.

Oh, and the IIgs models with Woz's signature are ROM 0 machines and
your list implies that they might be different models.  The only thing
different between them was the signature on the case.  Then there is
the difference between the ROM 0 and ROM 1.  The only difference for
most of these is the ROM.  Some ROM 1 machines may also have a newer
VGC chip as well.

I'm not even sure you need to list the different versions of the IIgs
as if you do it for the IIgs you should also do it for the other
models.  There are at least four different versions of the //c and I
think the //e had even more versions than the //c.

By the way, I'm not sure when the Apple ]|[ came out so I'm not sure
if it is in the right place.
