For one thing you *can* run AmigaDOS also.  To me that alone is enough.
If you were only going to run AmigaDOS or only going to run UNIX then
maybe you wouldn't want the A3000UX, although people who have used the
NeXT on a regualr basis say it is slow. 
 
I wonder why Commodore isn't slapping their name on someone's 16" color 
monitor?
