Like comparing a tart, old, apple to a well-mixed "screwdriver". 

The Amiga 2000 might compare well with a 386SX machine running Windows, 
but can only look old and slow when compared with a Pentium-based 
machine. Win'95 may lack some of the features of AmigaOS1.3, but it sure 
looks a lot better - ignoring the fact that it's like a hobble on a 
Thoroughbred. 

The A1200HD is both more powerful and more feature-rich than the A2000. 
OK, it is less convenient to expand, this can be gotten around. It is 
still not much of a match for your Pentium/Win'95 system, but the 
differences are much less obvious and the cost is less. The A4000T is 
more powerful (the processor is not as strong, but it has much less 
overhead to carry) than the Intel machine and the differences in the 
interface can be seen as matters of style rather than consequence. But 
the A4000T costs a bundle. Worth the money, _if_ you can afford it.
