yes - E5 2667v4 is 2k. The equivalent monitor/panel is likely 2k, that's already 4k so it seems like a decent value.

Edit: the one processor version of this processor is less than a grand. So that changes the math. Apple is likely making a good amount on each mac pro sold. As they should. I want them to keep making prosumor hardware.

Who wants a 27" 5k monitor? Weird thing to try and price against, since you can get better monitors for less.

People who edit 4k video and want room for toolbars?

The founder of Jupiter broadcasting famous for his pro-linux family of podcasts continues to rave about the Apple platform and the performance of his 2016 macbook and final cut pro. That's saying something. I imagine it'd only get better while on a desktop system like the iMac.

obviously you don't run it at 5k. I'd run it in 1440P probably but since it's rendering at 5k and scaling down everything is terribly sharp.
