But again you're pitting the Spectrum against the C64 and leaving out the CPC, which had an even more capable and accessible BASIC.
I can understand the appeal of the Spectrum in its first couple of years, but I'm not sure why the UK market never shifted towards Amstrad vs C64 once the clearly superior (and also British) CPC was introduced in 1984. It did shift to the vastly more expensive Amiga later on after all.
