To me that whole "emulation vs simulation" quagmire regarding claims that the latter is somehow more "real" when they are made just on a principle, is a little bit weird. Only observable things which affect the experience should matter here. So, for example, I keep hearing that (standalone) Vampire is not quite compatible with older Amiga models. If that's also true for V-accelerators, then it renders the whole "FPGA=real" thing moot.
Of course, PiStorm booting for 30 secs while displaying Linux/RPi stuff can also put a damper on the "reality" of this experience, because it's a very tangible thing. But I guess they make less claims to being "real" than the FPGA side (or do they?).
That's not to say people shouldn't use one or the other solution, it's just that that "the real Amiga" trope seems redundant when applied in comparisons between them.
