Amiga 500 Rev. 8a.1 mobo. Pro's/Con's?

Adding something like this should give you 1.5MB of chip:

You may want to verify fully that you have the latest 8375 Agnus (to address 2MB), but considering you have the 8A motherboard you should.  Fill the unoccupied spots on the motherboard to bump yourself up to the full 2MB.

Got one of these for my Rev 6. Works well but just using as 512k.
