It is true we would all have prefered an ARM350 but Acorn decided differently.
And well, now Sir Hermann Hauser is a billionaire I doubt I can say his strategy was the wrong one ;-)
As a businessman he was 1st there to thrive, not to please me more than needed.
Others companies like Atari or Commodore miserably failed always putting more 'stuff' in their toy computers to close business in miserable conditions, remember (screwwin their suppliers).

And yes a higher resolution is possible for ARM3 machines, the issue will be that the target machine will not need 2 Mbytes, but 4.
But : why not, after all.

Thanks for your interest, anyway.
I will not produce anything I am afraid before a week as I am very busy at the moment.
The good news is that I have the right algo to plot all the trees with a very small additional cost in terms of CPU usage, as the background 'behind' the trees won't be plotted (for 90% of the surface).
