No idea what Fat Gary will add, or if it even will fit. Super Denise adds the ECS screenmodes: SuperHiRes, Multiscan, Euro36, etc.

A Hires Denise will allow you to use
- Super Hires (1280 horizontal pixels in 15 kHz, 2/4 colors)
- change the horizontal scan rate for
 -- Productivity
 -- DblPAL/NTSC
An ECS Agnus is also required.

Fat Gary is for A3000/4000 (essentially the 32 bit version of the A500/2000 Gary).

 IIRC, Gary is not pin-compatible with Agnus.

So when you say ECS Angus is required for Super Denise you mean a 8372A, right?
