Physical switch for setting a default core?

Starting to put together a mister and the plan is to mount it inside an Amiga 500 case and treat it primarily as an Amiga; auto-loading its core and everything.

However that got me thinking. Would it be possible to build a physical switch that lets me select the default core? I mean I mostly want an Amiga workstation, but it would be really cool to be able to auto-load the 486 or C64 cores (or one that doesn't default load any core).

What the MISTer/FPGA experience like over dedicated hardware?

Randomly met someone at a local event who offered their 500+ for $500 (verified working) and I'm quite tempted. However I have a preorder in on a C64c Ultimate and another $500 for two computers Im going to juggle going back and forth between sounds miserable.

Which made me wonder why not cancel the Ultimate, toss a mister in an Amiga 500 case, and have both (along with all the other mister stuff).

Primarily Ill be using both of them for standard computery shit. Writing, budgeting, writing code, doing music, BBS shit, etc (also games but I know that works well). The only real caveat is I will need to print off it (have some leads on Amiga compatible printers).
