BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK MAC TO BUY ??
i'm asking the question because the new mac announcements are out.
the problem is with mac "refurbs" some are coming with XEON processors which are beasts, and cost between 400 to 800 bucks.
eg.

great value imho for any recording studio.
might get one myself for codeing/tinkering/running reaper biab etc. etc.
these refurbs also often have ssd's etc.//lots of ram etc etc.

so what do other people think ? , given a fixed installation recording studio ??
not a mobile one ??
what is the better deal ?
a new machine costing maybe double ?
or a refurb XEON mac beast ? with warranty of course ?
difficult call imho.
you can also get i5/i7 refurbs.

i look forward to peoples comments/views.

best.
