@rkauer: Yeah an have half a keyboard and _very_ limited expansion options. Also ECS improves so little over OCS, they're basically the same.
Not to mention absolutely no games make use of ECS and with a 500+ you get the ECS, 1mb RAM and a proper keyboard plus enough space inside to actually use a turbo board without fearing the case'll melt.
My advice: if it's just games and you don't want to do emulation, get a 500/500+. If you actually want to use an Amiga as a serious computer then either a 1200, 3000 or 4000 is much easier to live with. Some people really trick out their 500s or 2000s but the accelerators are really rare these days for the older miggies and with one of the later machines you start of with something fairly useable anyway, though really some kind of turbo board is still preferable - especially for the 1200 which starts out with a lowly 68EC020.
