My point was that there seem to be a growing hobbyist interest in native Amiga hardware.

V4 is 579 EUR in todays small quantities. Probably it can be pushed down to 500 EUR. Compared to the retro route where people spend 600 EUR on an accelerated A1200 or 2 000 EUR for a big box Amiga I think 500 is pretty affordable for a complete, modern Amiga much more reliable and faster than any other 68k systems.
The V4 is as Amiga as a PC is.
Better use the more affordable alternative if you aren't going the Amiga route, which may be a Raspberry Pi.

The Pi costs a fraction of a V4 and even running with an emulation layer outperforms the V4 several times. And with a cost of less than 50 EUR, you can never be wrong.
