Well since I came back to Amiga about two years ago, I have spent more money on buying real Amiga's than the cost of a Sam. This is because i always loved Amiga hardware but also to keep my A1000 company which is my favorite possession.
However, my comment is that Aros is the best successor to an Amiga running OS3.1 now and I cannot see that changing. Do not get me wrong I cannot wait to see if I can afford an X1000, but the Aros secret is that it cannot die again and will carry on forever improving now.
I believe apart from a small number of remaining issues, Aros is way better than OS3.9 on native Amiga, I have dropped back to OS3.1, and whilst OS4 is nice it has not moved far enough for me under single company control over the last 15 years. I understand the reasons and I will probably buy an X1000 but Aros is an Amiga safety net for me, it will always be around and develop the way the users want it too. Plus, like I have done a couple of times, if there is something you want done, you can make it happen with Aros by doing it yourself or paying somebody.
