@ irishmike
   Good to hear from you again. I wondered what happened to you. I too, am about to get an A2000 with GVP 030, 3.1 ROMs, and i have OS 3.5 here.
My current pet project is nice A1000, that I just found a 1Mb Insider RAM card for! Am about to see if ROM KS will work with all this too.
   Right now I am about void of hardware - but still have a sh*tload of software. If you need any help, just hollar ;)

The 030 accelerator is by far the best choice, if you ever plan on any games being played! 060's are great for graphics, sound, rendering, etc., but stink for most games!

I still find some Amiga stuff (mostly software) locally at yard sales and flea markets. If I can run across Lemmings again, I'll let you know.
I should have my "new" A2000 in about two weeks. I miss having a "modern" Amiga.

I would stick to the idea of getting the A2000 first. These are great machines, and it is easy (and usually inexpensive) to upgrade.
You might want to consider a graphics card with built in SC/FF. I used to use a Spectrum from GVP with very good results.

Spectrum is fun for RTG stuff (correct, VGA output,) but it doesn't scandouble unfortunately so native Amiga screenmodes as in games would still require a 15khz monitor.

Or a multisync.  I see 1942 monitors pop up on eBay every now & then. Even saw one at a yard sale - but I wasn't fast enough :(
