Default latest single G4 1GHz or latest dual 1.25 GHz w/001?

I'm a newbie here, and also a newbie to Mac and Pro Tools. I just recently purchased the digi001 LE. I decided to go with Mac because I've never used a mac and would like to get familiar with the system. Also, I want solid performance, and while I understand that all systems have their potential for problems, I want to record music...not tweak systems as much as possible. I've heard great things about Macs stability, so I thought I'd give it a go.

What I'd like is some opinions from experieced users as to what Mac to get. The latest single processor G4 1GHz power mac? Or is it worth the extra cash for the dual 1.25GHz power mac? I really dont like to over spend just to get the latest and greatest machine, especially if I'm not even going to be using the extra processing power. So I'm curious as to wether or not I really need the dual proccessors. What are the major benefits that I would expect from having the dual over the single, or vice versa?

And I already plan on adding more RAM to either machine I get.

Also, I really dont ever plan on needing more than 24 tracks of recording and at most, 8 - 12 tracks simultaneous (I know I've only eight with the digi001 but I do want to expand later on). Also, I cant ever imagine using more than 2-4 plug-ins per track...

Any advice between these two machines from you experienced minds will be VERY helpful.

Thanks so much!
