so you can tell the difference between a vid clip of a gonzo blow job edited with vegas or FPC, for 3x the cost and effort? I doubt very seriuously if a surfer could or would even care.

and the bottom line for content production is ROI. I'm not really seeing the ROI on a mac/FPC system to be honest about it.... to each his own though. $.02
If your post producing on a mac, you can encode with imovie superfast and add transitions, titles, etc on final cut if you wish, or if your mac is 1.5ghz or less. Also I would suggest at least 2gb of ram to spped things up. imovie renders much faster than final cut becuase final cut will be deinterlacing per frame upon import, unless your preferences are not default, as well as setting default keyframing tags, etc, imovie on the other hand, imports using just raw data, about 1/2 the time imho.
