One point in favor of the GEORAM:  Because its design is different from the
17XX and clones, it allows simultaneous use with the 4Mhz accelerator cartrige.

(Of course, you've got to use one of those expansion port 'expanders' that
allow more than one cartrige in the system at once.)

I don't use GEOS (I bought an Amiga instead :-) and I was happy with my 1750 I
bought way back when. (At least until I started playing with my 1 meg Amiga :)
I heard this from two different die-hard accelerator users that I tried to
sell my 1750 to.
