Yes, I agree with the Falcon being the best.
While the TT is definitely faster than the Falcon, you must also look at the other things, that make the TT and the Falcon such completely different machines!
The falcon has far better ( and faster graphics ) it has much better sound, and its far better supported if you want to upgrade it with more graphics, sound, speed etc.
So, while as basic machines, the TT may look the better at first glance, the falcon is far better overall.
Unless of course, you plan on doing some highly processor intensive stuff that require both speed, and memory, then maybe the TT would be the better option?
As a good solid machine though, not bothering to buy an ST/STE when the chance comes up for a fair price, would be silly.
I have always said, that a 4MB ST/STE running on a Mono Screen, under Magic will be a much better idea for "general" computing than a 4MB Falcon under MiNT, although thats my opinion of course, and I am taking price into account here.
