In terms of quality, I would stick with the Amiga 2000, with a German-made 060 board and a GVP Spectrum or Picasso II graphics board. As far as the bus speed, there is not that much difference between 24-bit and 32-bit. If you want speed and high resolution graphics, get yourself an AmigaOne. Why mess around with the poorly designed and lower quality Amiga 3000 and 4000 computers. You can get an AmigaOne computer for less money then you would pay for an Amiga 3000 with 060 board and Picasso IV crap. Let me think: Picasso IV or ATI Radeon? 68060 or a powerful PPC processor? Amiga OS 3.9 or Amiga OS 4.1? NO BRAINER FOR ME.
 
Let me clear things up for you guys: The highest quality and best Amiga model ever produced is the Amiga 2000, this is a fact not my opinion. So, if you have an Amiga 2000, keep it. Never trade it for an Amiga 3000, 4000, or 1200. Also, keep in mind that the Amiga 500 (the Amiga 2000's little brother) is the most popular and number one selling Amiga model of all time. Never trade an Amiga 500 for an Amiga 600 or 1200. If you are puffed up with ego, and you want an Amiga that is really fast and has high resolution graphics, buy an AmigaOne with OS 4.1. It is just that easy boys and girls.

Hi i have 3 Amiga 2000 and i must say that they keeps going strong even if they are over 20 years old, even the floppy works in all of them :-) i also have amiga 4000 and amiga 600, but i always seem to have some problems with my amiga 600

That's right, because they are poorly designed and are lower quality.  The Amiga 2000s are built like German tanks.  :D

while on topic of a2000...
Only rev 4 board is german made and it had issues.
rev 4.x and 6 were designed in westchester, pa and produced in hong kong / taiwan etc.
All my Amiga 2000s don't say Made in germany so maybe you have something you picked up in europe?
I also have rev 4.3 A2000 board and thats cr*p compared to rev 6.x which has all the changes and fixes. of all of them 6.2 and 6.3 and 6.4 are more desirable obviously.
I think A2000 was build at time when Commodore was doing ok, ok enough not to be cheap etc. A3000 came in 1990 and I think by then Amiga/Apple were losign their edge to IBM Clones so some corners might have been cut (the case is very small similar to PC-ii or PC-iii that commodore was selling)

WRONG! All Amiga 2000 motherboards were made in Germany, and most of the Amiga 2000 computers were assembled in Germany. Some of the parts were made in Hong Kong and other countries, but the parts were shipped to Germany for final assembly. Many Amiga 500 computers were also made in Germany.
