What was the Best and "not so good" Amiga Models?

Imo the A1200 was the biggest disappointment.
It was severely under powered for a new generation Amiga at the time.
Things it did lack was:
- a New blitter (It was still the same slow 16 bit thing !!!)
- new sound chips (same old 2x2 channel 8 bit stuff)
- 24 bit color mode instead of extending ham would have been nice
- 8 bit byte-per-pixel mode or even the converter chip from the CD32
- full vga compatibility or at least such a mode
- HD floppy controller
- buffered serial port
- space for a 3.5" IDE HD would have been a lot more appropriate
- 512 kb of fast ram/faster chip ram would have helped it tremendously
  since chip ram didn't have enough bandwidth.
- 030/25 or whatever they put in the atari falcon.

After considering the extra cost for a 2.5" inch hard drive a new serial
card and a special Amiga capable monitor they could have charged more
and it still would have been cheaper.

The best was the 1000. It appears the "first" of something good is usually the best... (for a while at least... at least until the Amigaone with OS 4 comes out....)

While the A1000 was way ahead of any other home computer or PC at the time , both the hardware and OS.
The A1 is just an obsolete, non inventive, hardware with an OS that tries to catch up to modern standards.
