Mac Pro vs Xserve

Hello,
Up to now I've been developing and deploying on the same machine. I think it may be time though to have a dedicated deployment server and was wondering, should I use my current development machine as a server (2.5 Quad) and buy a new intel mac pro, or should I get an xserve and keep using my current machine to develop? My application is fairly computationally intensive, and also needs to be able to handle some peak stress periods, so I need something pretty powerful for the server in order to cover my future needs, but it sounds like the new mac Pro's would make GREAT development machines although my current machine is certainly no laggard.


So, my choices are, keep developing on my current machine (which is pretty darn fast itself) and buy a more expensive xserve to better serve my future deployment needs OR buy a Mac Pro and use my current machine as my server? Of course I could also use the Mac Pro as my server during peak periods if I need more power. Is a new intel server that much faster than my current machine (and the current Mac Pro's) to justify spending more now for an Xserve? Is the Xserve hard to setup?

Or should I possibly get an older Xserve G5 to tide me over for now? Any and all opinions are welcome as I don't know too much about Xserve's

Thanks,
jeff
