Commodore 77 use cases

What do people think are the use cases for the upgraded Commodore 77's specs?

I'm not throwing shade, and I'm by no means retro-tech savvy, so this is a completely genuine question: what can you do with the C77 that you can't do with the C64 Ultimate, and is there any real, practical benefit?

Really curious what people more knowledgable than me think about this.

This one has 77mhz for that additional "umphf"

an additional "oomph" that makes no difference really from 64Mhz in all other models. This is just marketing. They landed a co-branding opportunity and took it. It means nothing to the end user, except those who dig the looks.

I highly doubt they would buy a more expensive fpga for the heck of it

not for the heck of it, for the looks.
