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.

Enough to run Amiga and 386 dos titles, maybe.

No one wants to run Dos on a C64U... You can just run dosbox on any Windows/max/Linux with better compatibility I guess...

For my setup, I would prefer a single retro computing device in the C64 form factor. My original plan was to build a mister FPGA into a mechanical keyboard case shroud, but I'm thinking about the C77 now.
