PAL A1200 in the US?

[broken]

I have had several NTSC Amiga's over the years and I would like to get another A1200. Is it worth my while to spend the extra money for an NTSC machine, or should I just import a PAL version from somewhere?


Also, what about the monitor? Can I use a NTSC 1084 with the machine or would I also need a PAL version of it as well?


I just know all the problems I have had with trying to get euro games and demos working on my Amigas that I figure since most of the software is PAL based, I might as well just get a PAL machine to begin with.


Thoughts?

So, would the monitor be more of a concern with running PAL software on the NTSC A1200 than the actual Amiga itself?

Basically all the monitors I have ever used were 1084s, 1080 and 2002s.

I haven't tried any of the Multisync models.


edit: I see a 1960 on eBay, but at $300 that seems rather steep.

What about the NEC 3D Multisync? Good alternative for ntsc and pal usage?

Wow!

Apparently this is a bit of a hot topic. Any suggestions for the best course of action to take on this?


If I buy an NTSC A1200, what would my best bet for a monitor be if I want to be able to use NTSC and PAL software?

Would looking into a SC/FF device and a VGA monitor be suitable? How do these devices handle PAL screen modes?


I am mostly interested in using it for games, demos and classic Amiga software.

Thanks y'all!
