You can currently purchase a CD32 for around 130-200 from
most mail order companies in the UK.

Add this to the Total price of an SX1 or SX32

SX32 - 240 Inc A1000 Compact Keyboard
SX1  - 220 Inc PC Style Keyboard

Ext Floppy from 20-80 DD & HD

A NEW A1200 costs 399.99 from Amiga Technologies.
and you need a CDROM DRIVE on top of this to access
CDs... 

When connecting a CD32 to any other Amiga, file transfer
is really slow. an SX1 or SX32 setup give instant CD access!

I have used the CD32 NetworkCDs 1&2 and when they crash its
a real pain up the backside, having to reboot both machines
and start again....

Its upto you, but in our office we have 3 SX1+CD32s with
4-8Mb and 80-200Mb Harddisks and they work great. We even
have on of the CD32+SX1 connected to the Internet via
a 14.4 modem and Ibrowse and THOR.. it works great, better
than some scummy PeeCEE + Netscape setup.
