So that said, would this configuration make sense for an additional Mac Pro for Motion?:

Two 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” (8 cores)
16GB (8x2GB)
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
…$1k less than the base 12core, but still get the 64 bit kernel

… and I assume get the new card for my current machine:

2 Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz
L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 14 GB
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
