    Hi all,

        I'm planning on doing an upgrade next year and I'm wondering if I should even think of getting a Mac Pro. I do the usual AE and 3D stuff most folks do here and when you put up the performance levels at least on a macintosh basis, a maxed out iMac seems to perform pretty favorably compared to CUBEtwo the sequel (I kinda miss that old clear plastic box) as well as including a really nice retina monitor. Is anyone planning on getting a pro and why do you want that over something else?

        -Rob
