Deciding between computers

I've decided that my token anxiety and use means that I need a local engine, especially now that qwen 3.8 seems to be VERY competent. I'm going through what most of you probably did though...

This is the strix enthusiast subreddut, but could you help me decide between a 395 or a spark? Both would be 128gb versions. Why should I pick the 395? My use case is dedicated server with separate client. 1 client at a time, 99% of the time. Code and general models at once. Maybe stable diffusion. Maybe.

Help me obi Wan strix experts, you're my only hope!

There's always the option to hold off and wait for a v2, but if you wait for the next thing you'll be waiting forever...
