Well, an RGB monitor like a Sony PVM or Mitsubishi MegaView is totally worth the trouble. There are a lot of systems that have RGB stock (not the NES unfortunately) and they look AMAZING. Plus your light guns will work.

Now with regards to the NES classic edition...it's cheap and convenient, but while the games on there are great, they're low-hanging fruit (common as dirt) and merely scratch the surface of the the NES has to offer. I honestly don't see the point of it. To me, the main feature that's even mildly appealing is the save states.

Save your money. Get a clone console (AVS/Retron 5, whatever) and invest in an Everdrive. It's more costly but you will get exponentially more for your investment than you would for an NES classic edition.
