What do you hope Os 3.9 will give you on the A1200 that you don't already have?  IMHO the only improvements worth bothering with are support for hard drives, a TCP stack and built in CD-ROM support.  The eye candy ie glowicons is just that: eye candy.  OS 3.9 will use more ram, icons will take longer to draw so windows will open slower, you'll have to put up with a longer boot time, and nothing of note really NEEDS OS 3.9 to run.  If you want a WHDLoad machine than classic WB has all the functionality and speed that your A1200 need, IMHO.  I have an 68060 in my A1200 with 32 MB ram and I could stick OS 3.9 on it, but Classic WB has everything I need.  And its FAST.

I know there was a list of bugfixes, but if all you want to do is play games and run the occassional bit of AGA software eg Dpaint, Scala, on an A1200 with 4 gig hd, no cdrom, then IMHO 3.1 is more than adequate, faster and more efficient.
