3.0 to 3.1 is really no obvious gain unless you want to use a drive > 4GB; however, an accelerated 1200 compared to a stock 1200 makes the world of a difference in almost EVERY aspect!

I'm sure you meant this but to clarify 3.1 of its own doesn't give access > 4 gig drives, you need 3.9 for that and to use 3.9 I *believe* you need 3.1 and not 3.0..

When I was using my A1200 as my only machine, upgrading seem to make a lot of "hacks" like fblit and ftext and quite a few other utilities on Aminet work more reliably.  i can definately say i had far less guru's when i got 3.1

I didn't play a lot of games though so may be 3.0 is fine for that with 4 meg ram.
