I have two A1080's in storage, one is my original from 1986 I bought with my Amiga 1000, the other just showed up.  In the pasr 20 years I have only used them to test Toaster setups.

I would never go back to any CRT, even the A1764 I acquired with an A4000T I bought.  If I don't use my Dell ST2420 that syncs to 15 KHz, the I use some SCART-to-HDMI adapter, my recently bought FrameMeister, or an Indivision AGA.

This only one opinion, and it may not be similar to anyone elses, but connecting to my 32" Westinghouse TV (that has never been used as a TV) is a hell of an Amiga visual experience I won't get with any 13" CRT.

Along with a CRT's weight, glass tube, and large size, add in the voltage used and watts consumed plus the possible damage of burning in a permanent image into the phosphorous screen if left on too long without a screen saver.
