C128-1571 questions

>From out in left field.. Questions and opinions solicited on 
Commodore C128/1571.


In my ecelectic collection of machines I generally have either DEC hardware,
single board computers (IMSAI IMP48, KIM-1, SC/MP, Moto6800d1, NEC TK80 and 
others) and CP/M machines (S100, Ampro, SB180, Kaypro, Epson, Osborne).  Also
the occasional oddball like the TI99/4, TRS80 and a C128.

What I'm up to is why have a C128 amoung all that?  It's not a great CP/M 
machine.  It's not very representitive of most CP/M machines and from 
using it it's an afterthought that primary to design.  So I'm considering 
why I should keep it or unload it.  I have no real exposure to the 6502
side of the system and the Commodore side of the world so there are gaps 
there.  So I'm trying to figure out if there is something to explore and use
or it's a "collection" item.  The latter being something I have, keep 
operational but rarely if ever use for much.

Flames not desired but opinions are.
