I'd guess anyone who would actually pay for 3.1.4 has already bought it. There is a percentage of the Kommunity that will buy anything with an "Amiga" label the moment it comes out. After that? Probably close to nill. The rest of the Kommunity would just pirate it if they wanted to try it out. It seems to offer very little compared to OS3.9 from an end user perspective.
Cloanto manage to keep a business going selling 3.1 and various other stuff, mainly to retro fans and collectors. Ben's obviously gunning to take over that market from them - hence the lawsuit. (And hence Jens' sudden involvement - he needs Picasso96!)
3.9 has a problem in that it doesn't run on 68000, and this makes it a poor choice for things like super-68000 boards and FPGA boards that may not emulate 020 well or at all. Oh, and in that it's difficult to buy except second hand - H&P don't seem to sell it any more.
