I group nonames & multias together in my head.  I thought you had one
of those...?

Anyway, the good TC alphas (basically anything but a 3000/300) slighly
outperform AS200s with slightly higher clock speeds, so I imagine that
they run circles around 21066 machines).  But since there is no
interest from users to support TC alphas, I agree with axing them.
