Is the 4000 really more expensive to upgrade
though? With the '4k, you can just drop in an
060/PPC with UW-SCSI (like what...40-50mb/s as
opposed to 10-15mb/s on Blizzard SCSI?), drop
in a nice gfx board NO problem...plenty of
nice (albeit totally dated) hardware to choose
from.
To do the same on a 1200 what you can do "stock"
on a 4000, you need a
tower
keyboard and interface
some kind of "busboard"
possibly other random hacky bits
And that's just to get the 1200 as "upgradable".
I'd say the costs pretty much even out in the
long run...so the decision really comes down to,
"which one would I rather have" or "given the
same price, which one is cooler?" and in that
case I'd say the A4k. Personally, I dig my
1200, I wouldn't get rid of it, but if I
wanted to "build up" another retro amiga
setup it would be a 4000, 'hands down'.
24 bit screens in the original case? That's
some interesting novelty to show your friends...
