Use of a CMOS 68000 Does have an advantadge — it reduces your systems power consumption by an amount that is worthwhile. Which brings me to another point about higher speed chips, 68000 and 68010 included. Often the consume extra power, even at the same clock rate. They definitly will consume more power at a higher clock rate. More heat, too. If you care — the Amiga's fine by itself, but add a couple of expansion boards, and you do get marginal conditions. –Ben–
