Trying to decide between buying an X5000 and an A1222+

[garyg]

My main application would be MIDI but the quote I'm getting for an X5000 is well over 3000 Euros
whereas the A1222+ is advertised for half that.

I'm not a gamer, so I don't need a high-speed Amiga. What does the X5000 have that the A1222+ doesn't
that I might need?

I DO have, and frequently use, a tricked-out Amiga 4000 and
have an Amiga 4000 Mediator tower (under repair).
I also have a nonfunctioning A2000 Bomac Tower and an A1200 Power Tower
that friends have given me.

It's very difficult to get repair service for an Amiga, which is why I've bought a
new X5040.
