In my experience (I did business sales for apple for 2 years, including aftermarket mods) people who buy base pros are more on the photo/audio side(+ram+drives.) Serious Video outfits would generally go for higher end pros, or just go for maxed out iMacs if they didn't have the cash. But honestly the ability to repair upgrade the pros is just much better.

Why wouldn't they use a base pro? Maybe they couldn't afford the next one up? I wouldn't touch anything below 5,1 - and whatever model it is it will need a GPU upgrade (5,1 with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 GPU would be a good call).
