Which Amiga Model(s) are you considering a MUST for Nostalgic pursposes

Simple.  The A500.  Why?  It was years ahead of its time.
And the A1200.  That was also years ahead of its time.
You could say the 2000 and the 4000 but they didn't make any kind of real impact allthough they were superior machines aswell.
The A500 plus, and A600's were only slightly better than the A500.  The A1200 was a big jump.  Just like the A4000 was to the A2000.
Other models were still good for their time, but nothing compared to the A500 and the A1200.  I ignored the A1000 because almost nobody bought one.

Its just a shame that some people seem to think they are still superior to everything else now

Though you don't have a location under your screen-name, I can safely guess you are not from the USA.  Over here, the 1000 was too expensive, but generally in wide use (enough for several magazines) and the 2000 (and even to a lesser degree the 3000 and 4000) were not-uncommon small business machines.  

I guess my point is that Amiga peaked in enthusiasm in the USA well before it did in Europe.  So the skew in the US may be towards the older and/or big box Amigas, where Europe has fonder memories of the newer and cheaper console style Amigas.

Correct :-)

Some of the big box Amigas were bought in europe, but I remember being at school when you asked what computer people had about 3/4 had an Amiga (A500, plus or 600 back then)
My suggestion all comes down to the popularity of them here, less so based on what I think of them technically.
I remember when I had my A1200 I would have murdered for an A4000, especially when the Cyberstorm 060 came out and for a short time put the Amiga back at the top of Personal computer performance (IIRC a Pentium 60 was the fastest PC processor at the time)
