I've got both solutions too, and enjoy one of them more than the other
(Let's leave that at that)
Finding a hard-drive for your real Amigas wouldn't be the most troublesome
issue, installing all them games would, many don't even have genuine hd-installation possibilities.
Face it, they came on a couple of discs in the 90's.
Unless you have some skills in AmigaDOS it could be a pain to get all
games working.
The perks are that you can use your TV as an output directly, and using
real retro digital joysticks.
There is something called WHD-Load however which takes the hassle out
of gaming, it emulates different environments for the "installed" games and runs them of your HD.
WHDLoad works on both real and emulated Amigas.
I'd say you might be easier of getting WinUAE up and running, or a ready
solution like AmiKit or similar on your pc.
It might be easier for your kids to use too once it's set-up with a workbench,
whd-load and some nice icons.
I'm not promoting one over the other, but one is easier...
Since your pc is 2GHz+ (?), as long as you have some extra memory,
you can emulate most systems and consoles, as you pointed out.
