They are not the same computer.  The A1000 has an edge connector for
expansion.  The A2000 has 11 slots.  The A1000 has 256K (or 512K w/A1050).
The A2000 has 1M.  The A1000 has disk loaded Kickstart.  The A2000 has
ROM'ed Kickstart 1.2.  The A1000 has one internal drive and no room for
additional drives internally.  The A2000 has one internal drive, and room
for two more (even more w/ hardcards).  A1000 has a keyboard w/ limited
numeric keypad and non-standard layout.  A2000 has a keyboard w/ full
numeric keypad and more universally acceptable layout.

For what you want, the A2000 may not offer YOU anything more, but that
is not to say it is the same machine as the A1000.

I don't completely agree with your disclaimer, unless you call them
"*relative values*". :-)
