Indeed, preferably a 2.0 GHz model.

On the 2.7 GHz ones as I've read, not sure about the slower ones.

I think in terms of CPU performance nobody suspected it to be an upgrade from any 2+ GHz G5, but I thought it to be more of an upgrade from a 1.5 GHz G4. I'm also eager to see any hard numbers comparison with X1000/Nemo/PA6T, as other benchmarks showed the PA6T performing like a slightly lower clocked G4.
