Is the 2009/2010 Mac Pro the best Mac Apple have ever made?

Do you think the 4,1's internal structure is better than the previous ones?

I think it's simply a case that it has newer guts, so the ability to shove a pair of x5690 is a heck of a lot faster than, say the 1,1 with an x5365, and the slower busses et al.

Do you think the 4,1's internal structure is better than the previous ones?

The internal structure and architecture of the 4,1s are a quantum leap over the 1,1 – 3,1. The tray-based CPU and RAM modules are a vastly superior design, much easier to access and upgrade; ditching the FB-DIMMs; drive sleds with a sufficient gap between the lip and the drive that you don't pinch your fingers every time you want to remove a disk, optical drives houses in an easily removable housing, and on and on and on.

Is the 4,1+ more reliable than previous versions (i.e. 3,1), could there be less instances of faulty parts and system failure, and could they theoretically be expected to last longer?
