I actually thought about it quite hard but I think the dual 1.8 is the way to 
go. Macworld had an article (which you can find online) which compared them, 
and the dual 2.0 is 9% faster overall, and the 2.5 is only 12% faster on many 
of the tasks despite a 50% increase in price (compared to the 1.8 dual). 

But their benchmarks don't include audio. I made my own index which is CPU 
speed X Bus speed.
1.8 x   900   = 1620
2.0 x 1000   = 2000
2.5 x 1.25   = 3125

Based on that the dual 2.5 is almost 100% faster for only 50% more money. But 
its a lot of extra money. And the dual 1.8 is a significant improvement 
already so the extra $900 might be better spent on waiting for the G6 next year.
