How much does the ceramic 68000 help (Fred or anyone who knows)?

Fred, are you saying that the coming of the A2000 will give the A1000
owners a better selection of quality peripherals, or, as it seems to
me, suggesting that the A1000 owners should consider getting rid of their 
A1000s and buy A2000s?  

The posting was very helpful - thanks (and for your PD efforts).

My views are my own, not my employer's.  Don't let them deter you from
buying the 747 you've been saving hard for.
