Speaking as a "classic" and once in a while MOS/AOS4/AROS user:
In some strange way it is odd and at the same time quite the normal reaction x1000 is currently having.
No one probably denies that this is quite expensive piece of hardware. A1000 may have been quite expensive, but at the same time it had many advantages to similarly priced or even more expensive computers of its date. Heck, even A4000T compares better.
Things have changed, and for "mainstream" Amigians using or toying around with classics, MOS, AOS4, AROS etc. haven't been about making the "rational choice" or about different amiga-lie systems being "useful" - at least not for me. I just can't imagine me buying only things that are rational choices or useful. What would be the fun in that? I wouldn't complain if fun things were cheap, but it's my own foolishness that I have chosen this path.
