"damn, I could have done all this on my A2000 or A3000"


..and an A1200 user, playing with an A2000 or A3000 could say "damn, I could have done all this on my A1200."

Some people don't want to be bothered with big boxes, and like a machine that'll run any game (AGA included) that they throw at it.  Cheap and easy PCMCIA expansion is also nice.

If you miss the big box, you can even put the 1200's motherboard into a tower with Zorro slots.  It's just another Amiga.

Definitely, network is way cooler than CF storage, why not download those ADFs right from the source with your 1200 rather than ferrying them over from a PC?  I skipped right over to WiFi for my 1200, but even that wasn't too bad to set up.

As nice as the 3000T was, it didn't have AGA and so it couldn't be my only Amiga.

The "toy" 1200 can run more software than the monster 3000T.

A4000 looks like a Packard Bell 486!

Performance doesn't matter anymore on Amigas, they're all dog slow. Getting them to do what you want does matter.
