A lot of people also use single monitor/TV and switch the inputs. There is a possibility to add auto-switching using the https://aminet.net/package/driver/moni/switchcontrol utility and certain cheap hdmi switch boxes that will let you auto-switch to other source when you load whdload games for example.

Also the coming-soon RC2 version of Emu68 has got practically 100% game compatiblity (whdload and hd games) , 100% AGA demos compatiblity and i would say around 98% ECS WHDLoad demos compatility (this is for pistorm32 variant, unfortunetly classic pistorm still has some issues, some ECS demos don't run as good as on pistorm32). You need to fiddle with the settings for some stuff, but I will go out on a limb to say it is the most compatible extremely-fast accelerator for amiga.

Personally I run AGA only, switch boxes and that seemed too much hassle for a machine that's not in full-time use. FBlit and PeterKs most excellent icon.library remove a lot of the drawbacks of AGA only, I have a 15khz capable monitor, happy days

Cool, this is what I'm more interested in....an A1200 + piStormy + Indy Mrk3 and just stick with AGA
