On paper, and for specific audio workloads, the Falcon was better. But for all intents and purposes, in real world applications across a broad spectrum of workloads, the A1200 was better.
The article does not take into account the TCO of each system. Bang for buck the A1200 was a much better investment. The market dynamics proved it to be so.

I've been fostering a hypothesis for a little while now that Commodore and Atari are actually one large bipolar schizophrenic company, Commotari

And when Amiga came along it made matters even worse; Both "Jekyll" and "Hyde" were in love with her.

...depending on how much freedom Jay Minor would have been given.


Tale as old as time:

Hey you there, where did you learn to carve like that?
Here and there my Pharaoh.
You should totally come work on my pyramid. Onemhotep, bring this artisan with us.

Later...

Artisan! You're chiselling the story wrong! I want you to tell it like I did the whole thing by myself.
Artisan! You're using too much blue! Lapis doesn't grow on reeds you know.

Later...

Onemhotep! Have you seen the artisan lately?
