I have all three.  

I started with a coco1 with 4K when I was young.  That got upgraded to ECB and then had the 32K piggyback memory installed.  It was given away to a cousin (of sorts) that didn't have anything when I got older.  It's now long gone. 

I picked up all three coco1/2/3 on eBay.  I have been on each of them but tend to use the coco3 the most at the moment. It has a 512K memory upgrade.
