Is the A1200 really that cool of a computer???

Mechy, you're SOOO unbiased
Most of what you say is true, I agree, but don't overdo it.
E.g. expanded A1200 (Blizz 1230, a little slower, but way more RAM) is still (significantly) cheaper thank a stock A4000 on second hand market.
Why should PCMCIA ethernet be slower than ethernet over Deneb?
Or why should the clockport speed matter when you use it to connect a soundcard??
Btw, see my sig? Now that I have a B1260 I'm thinking of completely ditching my A4000...


Anyway as others have said each model is cool in its own way, but A4000 is one of the more generic looking.

Yeah, a graphics card is the one big advantage of big box Amigas...

Sure, Mechy, as I said I mostly agree. It's difficult to compare relative prices anyway when we're speaking about used items.
As tone has said, whichever the model, Amigas are slow anyway compared to anything contemporary so it's mostly the question of what "feels" better. While I like my A4000 I can imagine being without a big box Amiga, but not without an A1200 (though I prefer having both, naturally ). To each his own.
Of course, A1200 was an entry level system and A4000 top of the line so there's no argument that out of the box the latter is a far more capable system.
