Sam460 users probably have it best of all AOS4 devices when it comes to updating their equipment.
Two years ago, when I was starting to consider buying a native hardware for AmigaOS 4 and was gathering information, I got this odd feeling that people pay fair amount of money for their machines (which are brand new commercial products) but then have to rely on forums and community to solve any problems they may possibly encounter. While I really do appreciate the awesome community support (and this actually raised my interest in the topic even more!), I withheld my decision for a while because of this potential lack of support.
I don't have any personal experience with other machines and hence cannot comment on that, but certainly I'm very happy about how ACube approaches this. The support is there, and definitely Sam is alive and kicking! It's a great feeling, knowing that your favourite platform is under active development (such a convenience that with update 2015.d, finally I don't need to switch keyboards to access the UBoot).
Even if at some point in time I will choose to buy more powerful hardware, I will certainly keep my Sam460 with me.
