Yes, I was basing my estimate more on the US price of $600, which is basically the same, if you buy both at MSRP. (However, that means the Mac does not have 10G)

I did not realize the EU versions were that much more expensive.

I do agree about the RAM/storage prices though. It's only worth it if you want the raw power, where the Mac handily beats this.
