Accelerators worth it?

[brianb]

I currently have a A1200 w/ 4MB Expansion and a 1960 Monitor.  I'm debating on getting an 68030 accelerator, but man is the $/MHz high.   I was wondering what will this extra horsepower allow me to do that maybe I can't now?   I'm generally happy with the performance of the system now.  Sometimes it would be nice for compression activities to be faster, or when I have a lot of apps open at one time.  I know there are a few demos that I could run that I can't now.  Would additional games be available to me with the 68030?

Part of my dilemma is I'm also thinking of getting an Indivsion AGA but probably can't swing both at this time.  In a perfect world I'd get both.  :-D

Thought I'd throw it out, and get some ideas...  Thanks.

save2600: Thanks for the comments..  I didn't know I could run 3.9 with a 030... interesting, didn't even think of that.  Of course then I need 3.1 ROMs.   Damn this amiga habit...

Who sells 3.9 now?  After workbench 3.1 everything seems to get a little "hazy"...

save2600,

Would I need a CDROM attached to my A1200?  Or could I possibly copy the CD to a CF card and install from that?  I currently use a 1GB CF card to transfer data to and from my PC & Amiga.

Adding a CDROM would be cool, but I'd like it to be integrated in the standard 1200 case.  Probably something not all too easy...

Thanks.
