Well, if you are scoring, then I would think it depends on how much
you want to spend. The most cost-effective way to go is a Mega4 and
SLM804 laser, and the SM194 (?) big screen monitor. There's a PD
graphics accelerator, and combined with the Blitter, it makes word
processing with GDOS faster (for me).

The TT is a fine machine, but doesn't cost twice as much as the 4Mb
laser system? If cost is not a problem, call an English Atari
store, and order one.

(By the way, I know what you mean about scoring, I used to be a
music major, and we used to have to do our projects by hand, and
with india ink...)
