Why? You've made it clear that you want something better for gaming but what about everything else? Your MBP is not old by any means. If you take away gaming, is your MBP good enough? That is, is it good enough for you to do your job? If the answer is yes, then it's stupid to even think about spending the money on a MP. If that's the case, then the best option IMO is to build a gaming PC. You can build something for under $1,000 that will be much better than your MBP.
If your current MBP isn't good enough for you to do your job, then I'd do some serious thinking about exactly what your needs are. It sounds like you don't need a MP but it's your money.
Not quite totally valid. Those are proprietary cards in a product that's aimed at a very niche market. Don't count on being able to hop on newegg and buy a Mac Pro gaming GPU. That option went out the window when Apple decided to go with non-standard GPUs. Yes, the GPUs may be replaceable but that's most likely only helpful in the case where your GPU dies. In that case, you'd probably only be able to replace it with the exact same thing or perhaps a newer version of it.
