Planning new A1200 purchase, any must have upgrades?

Yeah without the indivision AGA you will want to seek out either an old Commodore 1084 or get a Multisystem TV. I grabbed one off of Craigslist for $40 and it has SCART and works great with the 1200 and my PAL CD32.

For video connectivity, ultimately I'm planning to buy a scan doubler, but it's out of stock until Q3. For now I have ordered a converter that accepts 15khz RGB signal and outputs NTSC S-video  (http://www.ambery.com/rgrgtotvcosc.html). It specifically says that it's compatible with Amiga 15khz RGB output. Hopefully it works, I'm also planning to use the same device with my soon to be arriving ZX Spectrum +2/A with RGB output.
As a backup, I have Pioneer Kuro plasma TV that accepts PAL composite signal. I also have a composite PAL to NTSC converter at home. Basically I'm hoping that at least one of these connections will work until I get the scan doubler.

I know I speak for a few others in the states when I ask this. Please let us know how each of these works out for you. I debated over what to do with my CD32, thought about the converters you mentioned and just went with a PAL compatible TV which is working out OK.
