Those are pretty beefy workstations, does every developer have one or are these really build servers? As I noted you could always throw money at this and end up somewhere reasonable, but it introduces workflow considerations for your devs.

It is one per dev, and in reality it is at least a couple - I have 4 of them for example. The product itself is a beast too.

That works! It helps that "plenty-of-ram" is more achievable than it used to be, also.
