&gt; you pay for user experience<p>Which isn&#x27;t vastly relevant in a single-application-suite workflow. It&#x27;s end-to-end Adobe so you plug your SD card in, it copies some files out to an Adobe library and you edit them in Lightroom.<p>I think many of the problems people are describing is more to do with what&#x27;s being compared in hardware. Different monitor resolution, different CPU, etc.<p>My own objection is buying top-end rubbish from a photography equipment supplier. You can get similar spec stuff and much cheaper. This seems to be an exercise in trying to spend $4k (which is actually quite hard when you&#x27;re not buying a Mac) rather than building for value.
