Ok... to answer a few of your questions, true, the Mac may be able to
handle MOD files.. but just remember that they can only be created on
Amigas, and always have been.
 
The Toaster your dealer mentioned was much more expensive than I have
ever seen(maybe he was talking about some sort of standalone system w/Amiga)
 
The new Amigas are scheduled to come out this year.. Commodore does not
release information on new machines until they actually show the
machines(i.e. this weekend in Pasadena).
 
The Mac was never built to multitask.. only it's software was... The
Amiga's software and hardware from the beginning were created FOR multitasking.

The smaller Amiga base in your area may be true... In my area, for
example, there are about 4 or 5 Amiga dealers, yet only Sears carries
the Mac(to my current knowledge for my area).
 
As stated, the Amiga base is hovering between 3.5 and 4 million
installed systems IN USE.  Over 50% of professional desktop video
producers use Amiga's for their work.

The Amiga IS here to stay for quite some time.

The Amiga's video boards(third party) CAN be used with other software!!!
I don't know WHO told you something as outrageous as that. And when you
install a video board, you STILL have the Amiga's native video chips on
motherboard.... You don't lose those.

From what i've seen, the Amiga's animation is much faster and
less-jagged than the Mac and IBM.... The Mac just seems to be too jerky
and unstable.
 
Like I said, call Commodore at 1-800-66-AMIGA for info to be sent to
you, and call NewTek(forget their 800#) for info on their products.

The part of Video Toaster that does those great animations is a software
package called Lightwave 3d.
 
If you would like me to, I could whip up a small video tape of various
Amiga anim's I have seen and created so you can see what an unexpanded
machine (Amiga 500 -> $399) can do! (leave me E-mail for details)
