If you want something different later on, the MiSTer isn't going anywhere. GB, GBA and NES are the only ones with the feature so far. You also might not enjoy the fact that a lot of MiSTer cores don't have save states (since they're significantly harder to implement in FPGA) so saving is entirely up to whether the original games allowed for it. If you love NES games, it's exceptionally accurate.

The Pi4's CPU is fast enough to run Mesen, which is pretty much the best software NES emulator there is.

A Raspberry Pi with Lakka or a PC just running Retroarch might be more than enough. I'll be completely honest with you, I love my MiSTer but I don't think you're going to be missing out that much if the two best aspects (accuracy and low latency) are not that important to you. It's impossible to know without trying it and it's not cheap enough just to take a punt on and test out. I don't like fighting games where the input lag probably suffers most. It is a lot more expensive and I'm unsure whether I would care about the extra accuracy. The way the MiSTer's built-in scaler displays video to the screen is second to none, it's super smooth scrolling and crisp. The input lag isn't just about playing a game successfully, there is a "feel" to it that just feels right. The MiSTer is a far more refined experience and it's now hard for me to go back. The benefit is the low cost overall, obviously like others said you can get cheap expansion products to get composite video out, etc.

They are often not as good as using emulators on a full AMD/Intel pc. I have used plenty of Pi's in the past and present. Has anyone here got both and thought the Pi4 was enough for their needs? Or was the MiSTer FPGA a big enough jump and if so why? However, it is a lot more expensive and I'm unsure whether I would care about the extra accuracy.

I have read up on the basics of FPGA and understand they are more accurate and don't suffer with input lag.
I was looking at getting the Raspberry Pi 4 but then stumbled upon the MiSTer FPGA. I am looking to get a system dedicated to retro emulation (some old 8 bit computers and arcades).
