the MIST doesn't use a real 68K CPU but a soft-CPU in the fpga that leaves the door open for higher speeds and more varieties of CPUs as well.

At the moment it only supports ~8mhz 68000.
 
mikej's board can use either a soft cpu or a real 68060. The minimig can use a 28mhz 68000.
 
It's entirely possible that this will sit below the minimig in terms of performance, but above it in terms of ram.

Out of AGA 16.7 million colors it missing 16.5 million of those. So this board can never emulate AGA.

It can, but it will either have banding or you'd have to simulate the extra colours with dithering. Not all LCD monitors can output 24bit either. You might struggle to notice.
 
 But yes, if you want all 16.7 million colours then this isn't for you.
