Macpro 12 core vs 8 core for Nuke

Does anyone ever do real comparison between 8core and 12 core mac pro running Nuke 6 ? How big the difference in term of Nuke’s rendering? Of course it’s recommended by having more cores and 12 cores must be faster, but is spending $1000 more to get 12 core really worth it? or better stay on 8 core while spending the money for other stuff like faster HDD or bigger RAM or maybe upgrading Graphic card to quadro? Any idea ? Does anyone got any experiences? so far, is there any incompatibility issue between 12 core and Nuke/Nuke plugins/Nuke IO ? any issue with quadro card?

Thanx
