YOU consider yourself reasonable (and im sure you are), but since everything in these threads are relative to this and that with regards to performance and cost, for a outsider of this "community", you scale might be a bit off.
If we consider use only 68k software, after year 2000 the fastest Amiga 68k is uae with jit on pc.
Uae with jit on pc has also the best price / performance ratio.
Using anything else to run only 68k software is stupid, and wawa should scrap his slow amiga, and should use uae with jit.
