Answer is no.

After C64, I briefly went to Atari ST. I say briefly because the computer was not running fine (lot of bug). We had to bring it back to ship weeks later. And in that time interval, my eyes saw the Amiga (I can remember, I saw the game HYBRIS). So back to the shop, they asked us if we wanted again an Atari ST and the answer was no. We wanted an Amigaaaaa.

Amiga was mindblowing. That's surely why lot of people here chose it.

I knew the specs of the Amiga in 84, Digi-View is the reason I bought an A1000. Nothing else under £15,000 came close.

No, I actually did it the other way around I recently built my first C64 because of the Amiga legacy

I got my first C64 some years after the Amiga era as well, having started with a second-hand Spectrum before moving onto the Amiga. It definitely belongs in every retrogaming collector's games room. There are plenty of classics that neither the Amiga nor the Speccy ever got, from Wasteland and Project Firestart on the serious disk-based side (not that I actually have a disk drive yet, they cost a fortune) to Creatures 2 and Raid on Bungeling Bay on the action side. Add the games that are better on C64 than either, from Last Ninja 2 and Turbo Outrun to Wizball and Armalyte, and those sheer technical achievements (mostly 3D, the C64's natural weak point) like Mercenary, Spindizzy and Stunt Car Racer, and it had a fine catalogue of games.

I would go with an SD2EIC rather than a real disk drive.
