I suggest get a next-gen Amiga to find out if it is something you like. Cheapest option is an AROS machine, believe me, I have tried them all, AROS is maturing very fast and already looks just like 4.1.
AROS lacks community feeling IMHO (its going to grow, so in a way, be here early and become famous then) so I can be sure I know you would like MOS or 4.1 instead, I suggest go for MOS, it is much cheaper option with better hardware than 4.1 IMHO, but 4.1 is blessed with a somewhat constant stream of apps which is more clear and easier to approach if you are not into these kind of stuff.
If you really, really feel like you can not live without MOS after at least a year of constant usage I would suggest you to try out 4.1 too (do not listen to the silly camps, or me for that matter lol), then make up your mind which one is best.
Dont make the misstake of blowing 1000 dollars on a next-gen Amiga becoming your high-end paperweight before you know if the passion is there, and even if the passion is there lack of leadership from the leadership of the new Amiga can be a frustrating experience.
Do not sell your 68k Amiga. Next-gen Amiga is only a compliment to them, not a replacement.
