The sad truth is Amiga hardware barely changed from 1985 to 1992. The A500 was nothing more than a cost reduced A1000 - no new features. The A2000 was nothing more than an A1000 with expansion slots. The A2500 was a couple extra boards, not a new model. The A3000, my favorite machine, was effectively a cost reduced A2500, combining the 68030 accelerator board and SCSI onto the motherboard. Again, nothing new.

So after 7 years, all we had were expansion slots and faster CPUs. The OCS -> ECS chipset upgrade was very minor. That's basically it.

Finally, at the end of 1992, the AGA machines (Amiga 1200 and 4000) were released. We finally had upgraded graphics that didn't even keep pace with SuperVGA. The A1200 was also totally gimped with no fast memory and a slow 68020 that was now over 8 years old...
