Yeah, so it's a spectrum. In general if you want to feel the power of the latest and greatest, you should just not look at the output, give it full access (not on your computer - a server, or old machine you don't use is best) and give it a big audacious goal and let it work.

That might not be ok for your work / hobby / whatever, but if you wanna see the differences between models that's probably the best way.
