[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga 500 vs 2000

I am considering purchasing an Amiga.  Recently saw a 500 with
a number of demos and was absolutely floored!

But I don't think I need to sell this group on the Amiga.

My questions are in the area of differances between the 500 and
2000.  I understand that the 500 is basically a closed box, no
slots.  But what about the machine itself?  Is the cpu the same?
Or is the 2000 a faster model.  Can you get an expansion box for
the 500? A hard disk? ... etc.  Basically, can you build up a 500
to something bigger if you need it in the future?

Sorry to ask such a dense question, but the store I visited didn't have
any 2000's nor anyone who could tell me about them (the product was new
for them).
