I don't think I could really add much to what Cammy said, I think she may have justified the 500 price tag and then some. I did want to make one point however. I think the 030 might be a bigger selling point than you may think. You constantly see 040 acceleraters selling for less than 030's because the 030 is generally more compatible with older software than the 040. If I remember rightly out of the box "Sensible World of Soccer" was unplayable on an 040. Also someone made a point about the hardware getting older so should be cheaper. Surely the reverse is true? Sorry if I missed the point, to be honest I mostly skimmed the thread.

The NatAmi is a project I've been watching with great interest lately. I remember reading about it years back and thinking it was cool but I never took it seriously. Its amazing how much progress they've made. I hope they pull off and affordable comsumer board.
 
An fpga board is interesting and would probably be affordable with faster fpga's getting cheaper! I imageine a fpga on a board that is amazingly fast (by classic Amiga standards) but fully 020 compatible with FPU/MMU and say 64meg as standard! Im a dreamer! :)

No offence taken Im sure. It is after all very expensive. Personally I would take the A1200 route. I think its more of a hardcore collecters item now.
