What you have now can be replaced easily with W3680 3.33 6-core $620
beyond that you get into X56xx and not as easily.
The 3.2 had some limitations I think

Why of course is first and foremost.
More RAM and SSD(s) might help as well.
The 6-core 3.33 was considered the sweet spot design in cost/performance and efficiency.
And if you can sell the 3.2 later the cost would be even less. There is photo essay thread on MacRumors how-to (was W3670 originally before the 3680 came out and which is the proc Apple now uses)
