Hey guys, I hope this this topic hasn't been done to death, because I'm looking for a little help.

I work for a newspaper as a graphic designer/IT manager (it's a small paper), our publisher/owner is looking to switch out the design departments windows boxes with Macs. I'm very pleased about this but I have something of a dilemma on my hands.

It's understood that our publisher is budget-conscious. There is a debate amongst our department, though, as to whether we should upgrade to Mac Pros or the new iMacs. I was wondering your guys' takes on these two machines for a production environment, and which one would be better suited for the various parts of newspaper design (ad design, layouts, etc.) Thanks!

Your Mac's Specs
15" MBP 2.0 GHz, Core Duo, 2 GB Ram
I imagine an iMac with 2 GB of Ram would do just fine. I could see the Mac Pro if you were going to be doing heavy video editing with multiple layers and soundtracks, but for graphic design I bet an iMac would work wonderfully. Just my opinion though.
