From my own experience in a commercial driven environment where you really need speed for mid-end comps, cleanup and just chewing through simple graphic overs without your interactivity dying on the hero seat, adding a few dedicated nodes to a single interactive seat would strike me as being the more intelligent way to go. This keeps the hardworking agency creative types sitting behind you facebook'ing and consuming their own body weight in sushi content and safely out of your hair. Tie it all together with some 10gig to keep you media transfer times quick and you’re good. It’s not always possible, but if you can I found they are worth their weight gold.
Conversely, for really heavy lifting, pushing the submit button to deadline or rush on the big farm makes equally much sense.
