every year emulation gets better than real for one big reason: our amigas are dying, in 2007 so far i have heard of at least a half a dozen real miggies that have died. and a bunch that have been purposely killed or tossed. 500s, 1200s 4000s bad cpus custom chips capaciters etc...
eventually it wont matter to most of us if real is better or not it doesnt matter to me. my amiga 3000 is the last real amiga i will buy (yes ive said something similar before (yes to my wife)but i really mean it this time(again))
when a pc dies who really cares, you go down to your local pc place and buy parts or a whole new machine, you cant do that with an amiga you have to get parts or a machine that are about as old as what just died.
