If you are going to spend that much money you should get an A1 and OS4. You can keep the A1200 for games and do the advanced stuff with the A1 and support the new Amiga. I myself use a Pegasos with MorphOS, but befor ei had an a3000 toweered with a CSPPC and mediator with all the goodies. I havent looked back since getting the new system and dont miss the classic machine at all.
