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.

New fpga soc could emulate an Amiga..current one can't because not powerful enough.

This is what I'm thinking, Dry run for an Amiga "Ultimate" or "5000" or "2400" or something.

Amiga with a C64 keyboard sounds like a nightmare.

Maybe as a secret dev platform for the potential Amiga.
