Okay, I just read the engadget column... and then the "I, Cringely column." I think Cringely was more correct... the Kaypro was cheaper with a larger 9" screen vs. 7" for the executive. But I don't buy it completely as I actually sold those systems (first job). Margins back then were around 40% on hardware sold in a computer store so there was tremendous pricing flexibility. And generally stores that sold Kaypro did not sell Osbourne and vice-versa.
Here's a link I found with pictures:
