[comp.sys.amiga] amiga 2000 questions...for upgrade

(to those who know at cbm)

I am considering the upgrade to an Amiga 2000, which will
probably replace the AT clone I now have - I will keep the 1000.
So, on to the hardware questions:

- I kinda like the resolution for characters of an EGA card on
the NEC Multisync I now own.  Is it possible to get such
resolution with the current display hardware, or will the new
display chips address this issue?  Is any special cable needed
for an Amiga<->Multisync connection?

- What is the story with pricing and availability with the
Bridgecard, in whatever form (8088, 80286)?  The MicroAge dealer
here is unsure...  How does the B.C. use the 3.5 in floppies or
an Amiga-side hard disk for its DOS files?

- The new display chips (I forget what Denise and Agnes map into
in terms of functionality) to be available next year - would
someone comment on the expected features of these chips?

- Any word on anticipated pricing or availability of the 68020 board?

thanks for your time!
(i really like a machine that can "walk and chew gum at the same
time" :^)
