[QUOTE="Bob_Stan, post: 1648930, member: 205036"] I recently switched from an iMac to a Mac Pro. My main reason for doing so was the absolute necessity to have the machine available. Failure of a screen or hard drive in an iMac would mean a trip to the genius bar (60 miles away) and an unknown time for repair even when under warranty. With the Mac Pro I could replace the SSD, monitor, memory in a pinch in a very short period of time. Performance wise, with the applications you mentioned, you will probably have just as good performance with the iMac as you would with the Mac Pro, even better with single threaded applications.
