Just a thought! Swap upgraded A1200 for A4000

Indivision AGA 1200
A1200HD- Blizzard 1230IV / 64Mb / Kick 3.1 / OS 3.9 / 20GB HD
A4000 040 @33Mhz -Kick 3.1 / 16MB
A2000 Rev4.4 - \'030 @25Mhz / 8MB / Kick 3.1 / ClassicWB
CD32 -     Stock (W/ 2 CD32 Controllers]
A500 Plus - 68000 / 2MB Chip / 2Mb Fast / 2.04/1.3 / A590 / A570

I think so anyway.... nice 1200 system. I think including the Indivision makes it a great deal for an A4000 owner to consider... Probably the speeds are pretty comparable if that is a 50mhz 1230 because a stock A4000 has a weak 040 implementation. I personally would rather have your A1200 (but i'm a fellow A1200 owner) :)

good luck with whatever you decide! I think going A4000 over towering the 1200 is the right decision if thats what you want..

Everybody overstates this 040 weak statement in a4000. A4000 w/ 3640 blows away a1200/030 any day and time.

Not everyone wants/likes the big box Amiga models these days - I see no reason why someone with a A4000 wouldn't consider trading his/her machine for your A1200.  A lot of guys prefer the wedge Amiga models, especially the gamer types.

Good luck, and make sure the A4000 was well taken care of if you end up doing a swap!

Well, if you get the A4000 and the performance relative to the old 1200/50mhz fails to absolutely blow you away, you know who to blame :)
