I have a stock 500 on 1.3.
I have a souped up 1200 (my daily driver) on 3.1, with more RAM than I need and 4 GB CF HDD. The machine is essentially new, too. (long story)
But, quite recently, I've been put in contact with a guy who has a 2000 that he wants to unload. I've always been a bit intrigued by the professional big box Amigas. They were really embraced by the video production crowd back in the day, especially souped up 2000s since they could easily fit toasters without any custom mods to the case. This one does not come with any toaster hardware or software, though (not that I'd want to use it). It's just the box and keyboard.
Naturally, it has tons of unused card slots.
Is there really any advantage to getting one of these old birds, besides the obvious hardware geekery? I'm leaning towards "No"... but it is neat. I suppose it could replace my 500, but then again - the cost doesn't seem to justify the payoff. Thoughts?
