Can't put a VT/Flyer in to an stock A1200, so I don't believe it to be as cool as my A4000. ;) So for what it is and what could be done with it. Yeah, sorta I guess. Compact, quiet and relatively portable as long as there's not a ton of peripherals hanging off of it.
My A1200 is in the living room wired to the TV. Haven't done much with it lately. Might downgrade to an '030 for game compatability.

I'm ditching my A4000T because it just takes up to much room, and it's no longer used much for it's intended purpose- graphic artwork.
Now I mainly use my A1200 for games, and some app work, its suits me fine.
The one thing I will miss about my big box, is the graphics card. I wis there was an accelerator/graphics card combo for the trapdoor is that even possible?)

Maybe in the near future from Jens from Individual Computers.
Have you seen these ?
 

 
That is how small the current 030 turbo is for the A1200, so a bit more length and the Indivision could be added.

some more things I like about the a1200:
 
- rf output for easy connecting to tv
- ability to scale right down to base cpu (020) on the blizzard accelerator boards (maximum compatibility, the big box amiga's cant do that!)
