Using a real amiga is such a pain (both in transferring and then software compatiblity and so on)
Only if you got a shitty A500 or something like that!
A1200s and A600s are easy to setup.
Personally, I love the AD/DA of the Amiga. If I had none, I might emulate, but I always made the little effort needed to always have an Amiga in my house.
