I'm fancying an A4000 (Desktop or Tower) although I know it's memory access is slower than a 1200's.
You're thinking of the A4000's standard CPU board - the A3640 - which had throttled memory. As soon as you stick an accelerator in there (Which you have to do really) there's no difference or the 4000 has faster memory. If you get a Cyberstorm PPC for instance you'll get the 64-bit wide memory interface rather than the BlizzardPPC's 32-bit (but of course you have to buy SIMMs in pairs!)
If you want a solid Amiga, the 4000 is a much better bet than the various expansions plied on top of each other you'd need to get a 1200 up to speed.
