Aaaah, that Vampire2 card. It is unbelievable.
It is soooo much faster than anything we called classic Amiga, even faster than the fastest A4000 with 68060 card.
Why I am so interested in, though I have no Amiga yet? (I mean I have a non-working A500, but after Vampire 500 will appear, may consider repairing it)
I think that the A600 is the real successor of the Plus/4, if you have ever seen one in black mod, you will understand.
It has no improved AGA video chip (so a little behind A1200), but already had native HDD and PCMCIA support.
So with proper CPU speed, (compact flash) HDD and now with HDMI video it is a perfect small home Retro PC you just connect to your TV, and ready to go  .
If you look for this video on the Vampire2, (one of the developers (Majsta) speaks about the design challenges on Balcan Computer Congress), you will be surprised, what computer he has on his right:
A Plus/4+1551 :-)

He said: "when using wit DDR3 memory, the upgraded Amiga 1200 can be on par with modern computers." :-)
