Nikon NX is another story but that's on their end since the program is just freaking slowwww. I weekly edit weddings in Lightroom with anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 RAW images and I don't see it moving slow at all. I'm sure I can have more speed and space with the Mac Pro but for now I can't justify all the extra $$$ in getting one. I send my images to my external Lacie drives so almost nothing is stored on the iMac drive itself except for the software programs. My iMac has a 320bg hardrive and still show 230gb remaining. I heard the 24" screen is much better than the 20" but at the time it was impossible to find a 24" iMac. My "Amsterdam Brownie" opinion anyway.
