Opera is far from a text only browser and the reason you probably don't se it in your logs is that it sends a fake IE tag by default. Also you don't have to pay for Opera, you only pay to remove the ads.
One thing that I think you need to understand is that, when all's said and done, there are only three different rendering engines in PC browsers. They are Gecko (Mozilla and Netscape), Opera, and the built in windows engine (IE and many derivatives).
As for IE on the mac you are very right. I once saw my site on a mac and it doesn't seem to like applying body background-colour to tables.
I have said before in this forum that I test all my pages on Mozilla Firebird, Opera, and IE. I occasionally ask people to test it for me in NS4, Konqueror, and on a mac.
