Alright since it seems I'll be able to place my order for a MP in the near future, with all the options my brain is all tangled. What would be my best choice for a set-up for mainly FCP and video encoding, and HD capturing/video streaming with a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card? Should I be looking at more cores or more speed? I was eyeing the 6 core, but seeing that it might be coming in at more then the 8 core, my focus is shifting. And to make my mind even more tangled I plan on figuring out and getting Qmaster to work between the MP and my current MBP.
My budget is quite flexible as I've been saving/waiting since November when upgrade chatter began, though 12 cores is out of budget.
Also I plan on packing the system with hard drives? Looking at 2x1.5 tb WD Black(one for current project media, and one for scratch/Qmaster), and maybe a 2tb WD Green for storage.
