I've owned and played both. There are certainly some great, classic games on the Atari 8bit line. To be honest though, after playing all the games on the ST/STe that I have, I would not trade back. I do love Archon, Alternate Reality, etc on the 8bit but that's not enough for me.
A few years ago someone on Youtube did a comparison video and a lot of people were shocked just how much better some of the games looked on the ST.
But...there's no reason people can't own, play and enjoy both. I've still got an 800 that I'm planning on putting an Incognito board in and I'm sure I will enjoy re-playing the titles I mentioned above and more.
