Up until a while ago I would have said the A1200 because it is so much fun to upgrade. You also have the option of cramming as much as you can in the desktop case, or putting it in a tower and going crazy with mods and upgrades. Now I would have a hard time choosing between the A1200 and the A4000D. I love the way everything fits in the A4000D case, and using Zorro cards is much more satisfying than using PCI cards through a Mediator. For me, the A4000D feels more like an Amiga than an A1200 with PCI cards.

I can see your point about the A1200 eslapion, but it really depends what you want to do with it. If you just want a floppy games machine then a vanilla A1200 will do nicely. If you want a small WHDLoad box then a desktop A1200 with a HDD and an 030 will be great. If you want to add Internet connectivity then the PCMCIA port can be used with a cheap network card. If you want a powerhouse then you can do this too.

The A4000 is not really that different to the A1200. The only thing you get with an A4000 that you don't with an A1200 is a big case and Zorro slots.

Of course if Doomy had been allowed back, then he would tell us the both the A1200 and the A4000 are "pieces of {bleep}", and that this has been confirmed by Dave Haynie :lol:
