I've never liked emulation much and TBH I don't even like using a PC keyboard for an Amiga OS. It makes me feel a bit queezy. As for Aros and MorphOS, I couldn't care less about them. I like my Amiga's as hardware and providing the price can compare well enough with an A1200 with extra RAM and an '060, IDE controller etc.. Natami has a sale.
Beyond OS3.9 I'll go for a SAM for now. Low power consumption & footprint are more important to me than raw power as I have a powerful PC anyway and until the software starts to emerge that needs a truly fast OS4 machine I'm not worried.
Let's not forget that UAE is only ever likely to go as far as OS3.9 (as are some other solutions) and is therefore "retro", like it or not!
As for hardware availability being a reason to go for Morph OS over Natami (for example), pah! Old Macs will die too folks.
As I final comment I'd just like to say that all of this is irrelevant as we only have a couple of years 'til the world ends and the dread lord Cthulhu eats your souls.....
