Jim are you needing PCIe slots ? the reason I ask is because over on GS the New Mac Pro thread (all the typical applebasing notwithstanding) has popped some pretty good info especially on the last page or so
Where one (apparently a very knowledgeable guy) was speaking to why he thinks the new gen i7 and i9 chips are better for audio specific tasks than the new chip in the new MP
and notes the latest iMac (not iMac Pro) but the regular iMac with i9 chip upgrade and 1TB SSD upgrade is arguably a superior performer for audio to both the iMac Pro and the new Mac Pro and runs about $3500 to $4500 w/5k display included , depending on RAM selected and Graphics Card. Which is also something I will be interested in in few years (albeit I would have to get an outboard PCIe box if I wanted to stay with PTHDN
Also in answer to your previous question about running video editing I just did some research and for either PC or Mac (and as an alternative to FCPX) is a Video editor called , Davinci Resolve, and it is getting rave reviews even the free version is said to compete head to head with FCPX and Adobe Elements
