Default Which Mac Pro?

So business is ramping up on the corporate (read: bread and butter) side of our productions. We could get away with our set up when it was just our "fun" stuff, but time is of the essence now.

The new Mac Pros look enticing, but I'm curious about actual real-world performance vs. benchmark test results.

For instance, most of the apps won't come close to actually utilizing 12 cores or even RAM amount. Final Cut, Compressor, Photoshop, Illustrator...

Do we go balls to the wall on 12 cores and a massive load of RAM or scale it back to something the apps will actually use?

What are your thoughts about drives and which will provide the fastest transfer rates?
