Out of curiousity, is there any advantage of DP compared to HDMI? I've never had anything that would use it, and HDMI makes more sense as a standard-to-upgrade-to, coming from DVI monitors. Quick googling suggests HDMI has twice the data bandwidth as well.

(not that Macs offer much in the way of HDMI ports anyway...)

Older HDMI had limits on screen resolution and refresh rate.

Multi-display support is a big factor.
