For all intents and purposes the 128 will work as a 64 without incident.
What you get with the 128 is faster file processing when used in 
conjuntion with a RAM expansion and 1571/1581 drives.  THe OS is 
newer so you get BASIC 4 in 128 mode which I find useful.  I switch 
to 64 mode only to play games.  The C 128 is the most-used computer 
in my  old computer work.  For example, I can use it as a bridge 
between the B-128 world and the PC world.
