Guys, the A1200 was an entry, low cost system. Piling it up with 030s, tons of RAM, extra chips etc, would only make it less appealing in a pc-dominated world. They were right to bring HD and non-HD models, the only realistic thing missing, which probably wouldn't cost all that much, was either an onboard simm slot for fast-ram and/or (even better) some built-in fast-ram, 128k-256k to hold the code and boost the whole speed almost x2.
Having a better blitter and sound chip would also be great, but given the state Commodore was in at the time and their hurry to bring it to the market, honestly, that'd also be unrealistic.
It could be argued that another model, sitting between the A1200 and the A4000 could be made with more bells and whistles, ie 68030, 4mb fast ram and an HD-floppy, but that's a different story.
