Indeed, there is a model of Vampire, the Vampire Standalone, which is pretty much just straight up an Amiga on FPGA with lots of advanced goodies that speculate on what a mid-late 90s Amiga might look like (CPU ~100MHz, 3D acceleration, 16mil colors, etc.).

I'd heard Vampire's compatibility can be spotty and you can obviously see why. My own 1200 is kept very barebones by design (just a spot of fast ram and a CF drive) to keep max compatibility with the software I do want to run there instead of trying to convince everyone it can still be a viable do-anything system in 2025. Although a TerribleFire (an actual accelerator, unlike the Vampire) is very tempting at times...

		Yeah. I have an A500, and it pleases me very much to keep it at its base configuration, with the exception of a Gotek floppy emulator and maybe, eventually, an IDE card. I have plenty of modern PCs for modern PC tasks. The idea of being inventive with what the capabilities of the original-spec hardware were pleases me more than attempting to turn it into a more modern machine.

1486.31 €. Crazy.

		Yeesh. At that price point, just get a MiSTer and boot its Minimig core.
