Because a wise businessman doesn't invest money until he's sure he's got a pretty good ROI? If they can get 500 interested Amigan, they can be more confident of that investment...
Maybe there needs to be a POLL that asks if there are 500 people who are willing to participate. Lets say you vote "YES" if CUSA will do what you want, it does not matter which solution yet. We just need to find out if CUSA can get 500 people on board.
If you can only get 50-100 to agree then it does not matter what is decided.

"I would love to have a brand spanking new A3000 motherboard to replace  my creaky original. I dump the critical chips from my old board into the  new one, maybe pick up some enhanced features like more ram or 040-060  cpu, blah blah, and I would be all set."
I would love to go this route too, we need new spare parts, maybe more compact or modern design.
I like this project for Amiga 1000: http://www.illuwatar.se/project_pages/gba1000/gba1000.htm

Another solution is to create faster accelerators FPGA or PPC based.

I personally want to stay Classic, maybe more modern, but classic. If I want powerful PC, I get 8 Core AMD.

I would support CUSA if they created one of those:
Amiga Laptop: http://www.osnews.com/story/25251/AmigaOne_X1000_To_Ship_by_Year_s_End_Amiga_Netbook_Announced
A1000 Recreation with 060 card: http://www.illuwatar.se/project_pages/gba1000/gba1000.htm
http://www.gb97816.homepage.t-online.de/

Click on Projekte tab.

First: The laptop was promised by other vendor, but if CUSA was first to the market with affordable OS4 Laptop, I will support that. The major obstacle would be the drivers.
Second: If CUSA could partner with Georg Braun, the creator of GB A1000 MB, I would support them also. The design is done and working so I don't see any problems with 6mo delivery. Fingers crossed for this one.(Dreaming)
