For once I have to agree with Jax... $30K is way too much. Even
if you want to stick with a Mac (not the X, not the X), then you
can get a model just before the M (I forget the model name), for
1/3 of that.

For once, I have to agree with Jonathan. Perhaps we all tend to approach
such questions from our own parochial view of what a "real" boat should
be,
not realizing that a boat should fit the desires and needs of its owner,
not
some pre-conceived notion of an ideal boat in the sky.

I'd say that if the Mac M does what you want it to do better than the
alternatives, and suits the way you intend to use it, go for it and have
the
self-confidence to give the finger to those who presume to look down on
you
for choosing what suits your needs.
