True, but you've glossed over the soul that 6502-based computers didn't possess.

I suppose I'm just by nature not a very spiritual person.

I've spent a lot more time using the 6502, but I like both. They are represent two very different styles. The Z80 is a lot more practical in many respects, with its 16-bit registers and relocatable stack pointer. Some 6502-style register-indexed indirect addressing modes wouldn't have gone amiss, though...

The C64 does have a soul in its SID chip.
