yeah, you need to take a step back & ask yourself some questions like, do you actually have a need for it, would a macbook, or recon suffice, are you just craving it for it's shiny shiny factor.... i had to move from a shared pc as their space was filling up rapidly, wanted a mobile solution in the house AND outside, something with good space & power to run the things i wanna run, connect it into various setups i have at home & work etc etc... also beware the shiny shiny factor, tea-leaves (thieves) will do bad things to part you from your things when they cost this much. think about it.
was gonna take a macbook until i read about the plastic cracking. so now i have the lower-end mbp. shop around, there's some good deals, even look at custom spec... overall though, i would say, if you have need for it, it is a good exercise in future proofing yourself. providing you look after it.
