its a tough heat between Falcon and 1200. On one hand as released with just what is in the case as purchased the Falcon certainly has some advantages over the 1200
Faster CPU, DSP beats the anchient Paula for sound,no board needed to expand memory. Then only the video chip can access memmory at 32bit.
When you look at expansion capabilities, though, 1200 beats the Falcon easily. PCMCIA, Hard drive controller, CPU socket, Clock port (who expected them to use the clock port for so many addons?) which allow you to easily add Ethernet, CD-ROM, faster CPUs, RAM, SCSI, Audio and video cards.
This can easily be seen in the longevity of the 1200 (and 4000) which people have been able to use far into the Internet age meanwhile the Falcon is relegated mostly to music without even the ability to run much of the ST software base.
