I think you'll find more practical use in an A500. The ROM based kickstart means you can upgrade it to OS 3.1, and even OS3.9 if you can find an accelerator. It also can use a 1MB Agnus chip, which, in addition to providing more Chip RAM, allows to to display both PAL and NTSC screenmodes - important for compatability with the widest range of software. It can even be brought up to the 2MB Agnus chip with the approprite upgrade (fairly pricey, but still somewhat available).
Expansions for both of these machines are pretty rare these days, so it may be a while before you can get it up to the spec you want. Good luck, and enjoy!
