This is great news.  Also it is an indication of actual financial success of  an actual amiga product!!!!!

A couple thoughts/comments

1)
I just got my Vampire 500 V2+  just over a month ago.   Very fast!
My A2000 has become my primary amiga machine, (over an 040 A4000 and A3000s)

2)
mmmmm an A500/A2000 etc version or standalone.  very hard decision?

3)
What about a3000 and/or a4000 version?

4)
I know the FPU thing keeps coming up, but it is some fast that the vampire is still 50%-100% of the speed of a 25 mhz 68882 or 25 mhz 040 fpu unit in floating point calculating using brute force integer.
My biggest problem on not having FPU to more of an issue with installing software.  installers detect an 040 or 060 and assume an FPU.  Sometimes you need to install the 020 version.  This in not horrible (but I majorly crashed my A2000 twice where I had fall back to older backups)
