Time is on my side and I can always use an emulator in the meantime. I just want an actual unit for those moments of nostalgia that demand a 'hands on' tactile experience.

I am puzzled why you would want to throw away $150 if you have an emulator. Is having the actual hardware really worth it?

I guess I'm still puzzled, but if you say so, then I'll hang onto my hardware.

I have a C64C with the 4MHz card and other goodies, and a highly mod'ed A1000, but I can't see too much difference between my emulators and the actual hardware. For one, it's a lot easier hauling around the entire system with software in a 1GB thumbdrive than it is to go down to the basement in winter just to play the hardware. My biggest issue with the emulator is lack of a USB joystick for my laptop.
