As a hobby computer there is none of that pressure to get software working. Get your Amiga 2000 working and pull it out every couple of weeks. It is no comparison to an emulator.
Why no comparison? If most people only saw the screen and tried the emulation and real hardware, I'll bet they couldn't tell the difference.
Well, maybe because emulation is faster and a lot of times better graphics.
Now I'm not saying there is no reason to have real hardware, I do, but be realistic. I regularly use an 030 Amiga 1200 and an Amibian raspberry pi.
