At the moment, if you can get an A1000 for less than and A500, the A1000 is
still a reasonable choice.  A few months down the line, as more expansion
devices are available for the A500 this perspective may change.  There's not
much difference in the base system capabilities, if you are interested in
video applications, the color composite output of the A1000 and the availability
of the genlock peripheral for the A1000 are definite plusses.
