[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1634360, member: 56379"] In case you don't need or want to spend all of that $5000 on a computer...I'm going to throw a 3rd option out there. Get one of the non-retina 27" iMac's. Go with 16gig of ram and 500gig of flash storage...and I believe this gets you in around $2500. This will get you about 85-90% of the performance of the 5k 27" iMac...but a lot lower price.:) Of course no 5k display. This will still be a heck of an upgrade compared to your MacBook Pro. But. If you have no problem spending the cash go for the Mac Pro. If you cut the ram back to 16gig and the flash storage to 512gig...you could get the price down to $4299. Also be aware that the ram and storage in the Mac Pro can be upgraded later. So you don't have to go "nuts" now with the ram & storage preconfigured.;) HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
