Wow, even at 40% off this makes SI's pricing look pretty sweet in comparison. $10,000 ??? Ouch! This isn't 1990... You'd have to really have a good use for it. Even with just the workstation license and 40% off it's still $4000. And look at that upgrade fee!

it's worth every single penny

I suppose that would depend on what you were hoping to do with it?
