IN all seriousness, I suggest that you bring your question to a more,
how shall I put it, *serious* amiga-subgroup (ie: comp.sys.amiga.misc).

BUT, since you asked on THIS subgroup, I shall be more than happy to
give you the more-than-appropriate answer!

Y'see, it doesn't really matter what amiga you buy.
It really doesn't.  
All that matters is that you OWN one.  
They all do the same, incredible things.
Just that some models are bigger, and some are smaller.
Oh, and some are faster, too.

If you are one of those 'bigger is better' fellows, I would
suggest the Amiga 2500.  It's the biggest.
If you are one of those 'but mine goes 24.5 MIPS, NEYH!' people,
I would suggest an Amiga 3000.  It's the fastest.
If you are one of those 'discreteness is the base of all reason' dudes,
then I would most highly suggest the Amiga 500!
It's most definitely the smallest.

So, there ya go.  The Amiga wrap-up.        

As previously posted, it's really quite simple.
The Amiga is the best there ever is and ever will be, and
there is just no changing the truth.
