Why invest money in a platform that is no better than the original and will never achieve critical mass? Novelty is a strange beast. Not like Amigans would know anything about that, of course.
Have you seen the specs of the C-One? It's not just a C64 clone. It has plenty of new features (DMA, more color modes, etc.) to make C64 programmers happy. Plus, it can be configured for other cores just by adding a CPU card, and loading the emulation core.
As for why do it in hardware versus just runing an emulator on a PC.
NOTHING BEATS THE REAL THING. You might be able to play your Megadrive games at ~98% accuracy and have features like save states and pause but then again you've been able to do that in hardware since 93 and with 100% accuracy. (Not to mention the entry price of a suitable computer which is more than the original price of the system and games as is...)
