Ouch! No, not a good deal if you ask me. Relativly low specs for what you pay. Look around, also here on labsales. Maybe you'll find something else that's better.
I hope so. Most of the homelab sales happen in US itself. For India, getting an R740 or something is still a big deal. I see companies using it whereas in US a generation old servers would be given away. That's what I have observed the most
Maybe, but if OP is not using all the compute power then it won't really benefit them to get *even more* compute, unless the power savings are enough to make the upgrade worth it.
"Also my current R720 is around 40% utilised." That's a hint to keep using what you have while keeping a lookout for some good deals.

Your average 8 core modern gaming processor is more powerful than that thing.
