I am not buying but down the road I was pondering how an 8 core 2.8ghz Mac Pro would stack up against a quad core i7 with it's virtual cores. Working in 1080 resolution is making me think that my 4 core mac pro is getting a bit long in the tooth. Looks like 8 core I mention is going for about $1200 on ebay. I would be using Premiere Pro or FIna Cut X so all core are used. I hesitate to get an iMac since I already have a monitor.
