The Mac Pro base price is higher than it w= as, but keep in mind that the iMac has been pushed considerably higher spec = than it used to be, so the Mac Pro had to up-spec as well to avoid too much = overlap. My main gripe with it so far is 1GB Ethernet only. I might buy one,= but at this stage, the biggest threat to Apple/OS X is probably EC2.=
