Have you considered selling the Duo and picking up a PCE Duo or Duo-R/RX? That would give you access to every PCE huey plus all the CD/SCD games, and and with an Arcade Card you'd get access to all the ACD titles.

As recommended in the dozens of other "what system should I get?" threads, get a Duo/R/RX.  The original version will need caps, but don't turn it down if the price is right.

White one looks the best IMHO, but that pesky Rf only, so you'll need to work around that

Core GFX II matches best with the Grey/Orange CDrom, the reg Core Gfx is the one that stands alone really.

I know you said you don't want to mod it but get a Duo R/Rx and have it modded to play american Hucards. You'll thank me later.

Yeah the white original is nice.  But for better output, get the AV Booster for it.

Well, since you have a duo and a TG already, I would say get the white PCE. It's super cute, and I love  the novelty of having to change my to TV to channel 95
