The A1/OS4.x strategy is one to migrate existing Classic users to
a new platform, is it not ? Given we've just got OS3.9 plus
boing bags could you blame Amiga for leaving Classic users at that ?

To me it's not much of a choice; 3 add ons or 2 new motherboards:
My A1200 motherboard must be at least 8 years old and what with
extra heat from various accelerators and stress from
bits hanging off of it I'd expect some premature ageing.
In case you didn't realise, component values can drift as they get
older, PCB tracks corrode etc.

Anyway, it would be quite nice to have a system that doesn't rely
on hacks and proprietary software drivers (I have to double boot
my PPC which is bad enough).

So it's either A1 or Pegasos.

Gary said that reaction to the party pack with be a good judge
but not everyone can afford to be early adopters, which I'm
sure he is well aware of.

Would it matter to Amiga if the A1 received lukewarm sales ?
AmigaDE is Amiga's real product; Eyetech would be the real losers
surely ?
