Completely happy.
But it is hard to justify the cost, especially now since Windows 7 is looking WAY better than Vista.
My original switch was due to a need to run Final Cut Pro. Everything fell into place from there.

One of our systems uses a Matrox MXO2 I/O box that connects via a PCIe card for desktops and an express card adapter for portable systems.
The larger MacBook Pro for example has an express card slot so we can use the Matrox box on that system from time-to-time.
You can still edit without it, but you lose the option of higher end hardware options.
That’s all.
p.s.
I was a devoted Windows/PC user…until I was able to get a Mac.

If you’re looking for reliability, then you need a Mac to run OS X. I know there are stories of everything working great on non-Apple hardware, but inevitably you will run into an issue. Trust me.
Outside of the legal issue, you can’t just update without potential problems. When updates come out, they can break the system.
Simplicity and reliability…OS X on Mac.
As for the Quad-core iMac, as far as I know they don’t have an express card slot. That limits using certain hardware, but probably only an issue for video editing and hardware interfaces.
They are really cool. I’ve set one up for a friend.

Are there any other elements in those PS files? Smart Objects? I’ve found those to not migrate to FCP. Usually object effects are the problem with Smart Objects, but you never know.
Definitely try to save them on a Mac.
