My Amiga emulation needs were met by a previous version of Amiga forever / Cloanto. It's very easy to setup indeed and comes with all sorts of profiles resembling specific amiga machines. But I wanted to run a newer Workbench and I ended up going for the newer WinUAE releases that allow me to run Workbench 3.9 and a proper workbench configures just like it was on my old real system. But the applications on the Amiga are getting outdated, there's no need to go back and run Wordperfect for Amiga or Graphics programs like Dluxe Paint since there are better, more versatile and more compatible programs on Windows, Linux, MacOS. Emulation of the games that is what takes me back to the Amiga platform - if you want an easy to configure Emulator and play games at 100% perfect speeds and emulation go for Amiga forever. You'll be able to use more kickstarts legally. There is a freeware alternative frontend to WinUAE that works like the Gamebase releases catering emulation of other platforms, providing compatible WinUAE settings, screenshots and game management.
I am on the Mac right now and don't remember the exact name of that package. Sebastian Brassard recommended it for Amiga Emulation on the old forums.
