It's not gonna be right away, but I'll get one. Two of my main machines are stuck on 10.6.8 so I have no choice but to catch up. I'm sure it'll be great with AE (except for no CUDA) but for 3D rendering a 6-core give me 12 rendering threads and that's a big plus. I'm also in the "I'm so used to Mac's that I just cannot deal with another OS" crowd, right or wrong. It's not that I'm necessarily a Mac cultist, it's just what I know.

    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
