Exactly my point... I just pointed out that "I don't want to pay extra for X" wasn't the argument I was making but that I thought a propper videooption shouldn't be an option to begin with on an Amiga motherboard.
There is a limited number of I/O cutouts on the rear of the case so including one option on the motherboard might exclude the possibility of the other. This is especially the case with the A500. Sure, you can make your own with a dremmel but a lot of people won't be happy to make cosmetic alterations to their case which can't be reversed.
The layout of the I/O ports on the A500 and A1200 are different too so unless users are forced butcher the case at least some of it will have to be on fly-leads anyway and that's only a step away from it on a seperate module.
Another consideration is that since the board will have an original Lisa chip, the current Indivisions are most likely compatible and therefore owners of such hardware wouldn't require any other video output.
When it all comes down to it I don't really see what the big deal is if the video output is on the mainboard or not. The only important part is that it actually ships with that output.
