Had it come out two years earlier, I'd likely have made the plunge. But as it sits, I have a 2018 iMac that I maxed out except for the ram which is at 32gb and last summer I built a top notch PC for everything else I do. Between the two, I have $6k invested. If two years earlier I'd sat down and done the math, the Mac Pro likely wins out since my personal philosophy is to invest in quality rather than cheap out.
