The "pre-trashcan" Mac Pro models were considerably less expensive, even adjusted for inflation, than what came afterward. (The first Intel Mac Pros started at $2299, and IIRC I bought a PowerMac G5 in the early 2000s for something like $1599.) So Apple might lower their introductory pricing down to something that, if not cheap, is at least less expensive than the current Mac Pro. I wouldn't bet money on that, to be sure -- but it's possible.
There's also the possibility of a "Mac Mini Pro," though, maybe? In a sense they kind of did that with the last update to the Intel model; I could see them making this a more deliberate bifurcation in the lineup.
