I'm not sure if the point of this thread is to argue the value of high price cables or to make a real selection. If you are serious about Purist, my suggestion would be to evaluate the cable and let it stand on its own two feet. What other way is there? If it turns out to be the best sounding cable for you, get it. If not then look elseware. A few years ago I was interrested in Purist myself and tried them in my system and along with some other cables. If you don't have a local dealer, you can use The Cable Company. I've used them many times. Their lending program is excellent. They'll send out anything you want to try so there's no risk of making a bad choice.
That said, the Dominus is expensive, by any standard. Only you can judge weather it is a good value. Personally, I wouldn't consider buying something like that without listening to it first. Would you buy a pair of $900 Prada shoes without trying them on? I did. The 2nd pair fits a hell of alot better than the 1st. Sore feet or sore ears? Painful either way.
