Re: Red dsmc dragon w still worth it at $4k complete?

Less than 1 month.

Folks, let me rephrase my question:  is it worth spending the time investigating the older DSMC system to get a flavor of how the Red ecosystem and Redcode Raw work or has current technology so surpassed the older offerings that such investigations would be of little practical use?

I'm not asking for a financial cost/benefit analysis. I'm asking for an investment of time and effort benefit analysis.

I realize that many on this board focus, principally, on justifying video technology costs in terms of their current production economics.  That's not what I/we are focusing on. It is more about understanding underlying technologies as a basis for potential future technology choices. Is the time investment relevant or is the last generation so far behind current offerings that it is really irrelevant to learning what Red provides?
