I was on the Apple Store web site just a couple days ago looking at that... and drooling over the prospective specifications. I would love to see some real-world comparisons and trials of this machine.
But the price tag reminds me of the earliest days of personal computing... yowzers! But yes - this is a premium piece of equipment.
I recall when you could configure a Pro Mac II setup and reach $24,000 fairly easily. Start with an $8000 Mac II, Max out the RAM, add five or six large SCSI HDs internally, add three Radeon Video card, add 6 monitors in an array. . . top of the line 68030 processor. . . Damn fast machine for the day and age.
That would be about $40,000 in 2017 dollars. Some professional video editors would gladly pay it.
