HTT is an interesting oddity. Sometimes it works really well. Otherwise, not so much. And there doesn't really seem to be any general trend one way or another.

Nice system. I'm still hoping to go up to 32 cores and 128 GB of RAM by June, but I don't know about that as I'm also planning on finish off my master's. (I don't really NEED 32-cores right now, but it would be a fun (and expensive) toy to play with.)
