A computer that's "stuffed to the rivets" on day one has nowhere to go to accomodate additional demands from the software or the user.
Why not a MacPro, and one or two 30" displays ?
You can always add more displays and multiple graphics cards to get truly huge screen real-estate. It also gives you good options for adding memory and disc space as software updates get hungrier.
It's just a good way to start at a realistic price point, but not hamstring what you might want to do in the foreseeable future.
