The Amstrad 1512.

Does any one have something to share about this machine?  IBM 
compatibility, reliability, utility, etc.?  At $650 bundled with 
software, mouse, lightpen capability, and other goodies, it seems more 
attractive than a Taiwanese clone.  What differences might the 8086 
cause in running software or in trying to use hardware designed for 
the IBM?  

I was considering buying one with the color monitor.
