I would've gone for a towered and powered A1200. But I ended up just running the odd whdload game on my 040ed 1200 making the accelerator and extra RAM largely superfluous exept for the occasional demo. The fact that the accelerator reduced my software options was an annoying side-effect too.
Now I use WinUAE, I wouldnt go back to real hardware for highend work. Dont get me wrong I like the real gear, its just not good value to continue with it for me when my PC can do everything my old A1200 did and a lot more.
