So if I was going to get a second amiga, which?

An A2000 - amiga at the height of its funding & development.  Built solid, hard to break it, fun project machine - it can do a lot of stuff.  Before you say "what about a3000 / a4000?"  I still have one of each (a3k, a4k), and they are good machines, but the big box a2000 captures the spirit of amiga.  

My fave is the A1200, personally, but I believe that the A2000 captures the essence of "Amiga."

...had an A1200T/060@50/PPC@240, w/ picasso IV.   That said, there's something about the amiga in the height of its development; that is, from 1989-1991. The software was aplenty. It's fun to play with faster AGA machines, but basically most of the power of the architecture was exhausted in the OCS/ECS amigas...  

I guess I'd say i'd get an A2000 or A3000?
