I went the middle way and built a Hackintosh.
Watercooled i8700K overclocked to 5gHz, 64GB Ram and 2 NVMe drives for about $1700 total.
Geekbench is around 31‘000 total and 6‘200 single core.
I don‘t even want to know how much a similar spec‘d machine would cost from apple.
Setting up was a breeze and I‘m not that much of a geek.
I switched to mac/OSX around 2010 and never looked back.
