I'll be going for the $4,000 option and upgrading to the dual AMD FirePro D700. That's 12GB of VRAM total, 2048 stream processors, 384-bit-wide memory bus, 264GB/s memory bandwidth, and 3.5 teraflops performance.
400$ PC from 2009 is still very current (not for games or video programs though) nowdays. And its only 9% of what you paid...
4200$ for a computer... Rich. To put it politely. Especially when its worse than 2100$ PC 2100$ for the logo
