If you're looking for something that ticks off most of your wishlist, I'd say check out the ZX Spectrum Next.
Thanks for this!
In fact, I do have one. It's sitting right next to me at this second.
The snags for me are that NextBasic is rather weird and nonstandard, and classic Spectrum languages like BetaBasic can't access the new hardware.
I sort of wish they'd taken, say, SE BASIC or something and worked with that, rather than strange enhancements to Sinclair BASIC. A clean break and a cleaner language.
