OK, here's sort of a summary of the responses I got from my question.

Of course, I got the "I like the 2000 keyboard better than the 1000
keyboard" response - personal tastes I guess.

I was told that it would be easy to hack up a DIN/phone connector
adapter to connect a 1000 to the 2000.  Apparently they both use
the 8520 serial line to communicate with the keyboard, only the
connector is different.

Several people told me about a new keyboard for the 2000 which has
a better feel, "fat" function keys, and the old left-amiga key
(instead of the chicken head key), which has been shipping for a
few months.  (I'm going to wait to upgrade until I can get a 2000
with this keyboard.)

Well, there's the three solutions I got: learn to like the keyboard,
hack up a connector, or get one of the new keyboards.
