It wasn't so much about trading in for comparable specs per se, it was more about having a computer (the iMac) that I could easily move around. I have to travel the globe this year and need an editing station I can easily take with me. The tower simply isn't an option for that, and the PowerBook G4 wasn't either (old processor, etc.). So the iMac was fine. I've been using Mac for many years and the specs were fine for my needs (I wasn't doing star trek CGI, just basic final cut editing).
