Just for fun, I added every possible option to the configurator (including VESA mount and software). Nearly $14k.
Since my work (statistics) is compute heavy but data transfer only happens once, I'll be sticking with EC2 at <$5 per hour. An iMac Pro would require me to upgrade before I worked off the difference. EC2 has the upgrading factored into the price and has CUDA GPUs.
I get that not everyone is like me (video editing would be real slow if you had to transfer all the files over the web), but I find it hard to justify when I could hire a kid to build me a comparable system for much cheaper. Sure, Apple's warranty is better, but is is worth as much as the price difference says it is?
