I have an 800, an 800xl, and a 1200xl and while I think the 800 had a nice 
keyboard to it, the "feel" and lighness of the 1200xl'S board is 
awesome. Nice and springy.. I miss it now that I use an 800xl.
I needed to switch because i got an MIO.
(also put in Rambo!).
I think theres an even better keyboard than the 1200xl.
I read somewhere about putting an IBM keyboard on an atari...
THat would be great.. (probably cost an arm..).
