IMHO there's a big difference between using a real Amiga or not, although I want to update it internally with modern devices as much as possible.
It's like my old Beetle. There are people that want it stock, others that want it very modified internally and externally, others will buy a new Beetle, but I want it outside stock but with so many improvements in the engine, breaks, suspension and steering as can be done, always that they won't be too visible and that will keep the old style feeling...
