I suppose the equivalent this side of the pond back in the day would
have been C64 versus Sinclair Spectrum; the Beeb was generally too
expensive for home use! 

Of course nowadays if going for an 80's 8-bitter I'd go for a Beeb too*.
Actually, I gave all my Sinclair stuff away last year (apart from one
48K machine) and I've never owned a C64 (just a C16 / Vic20 / plus 4 /
Amiga)...

* current count is about 40 different Acorn machines I think, six or so
of which are various flavours of beeb...
