I personally would not go this route. Get the G5, if you want to avoid Finale 2k4 for now, run 2k3 in Classic. I also think that 2k4b is usable in OS X. I have a relatively slow machine, but I would not want to go back to 2k3. I would not want to give up some of the new features, especially expressions. Plus Finale is in my experience more stable in OS X than it ever was in OS 9. So unless you have other reasons for keeping an OS 9 bootable system, go for the fastest machine you can afford. I envy you.
