I agree Dave, it's an individual choice depending on your needs and circumstances.
Depends if you already have a monitor, I have two 24" screens hooked up to my Mac mini's which from my point of view give me more screen real estate than the 27" iMac or the Thunderbolt screen, for peanuts. I think I paid about £130 each for the 24" screens, OK they are not top quality and not even LED but they do what I need well enough.
That was why I went with the Mac mini, plus the portability. A 27" iMac os not portable. The iMacs are very heavy. I just installed one about a month ago for a friend and by the time I had carried it about half a mile out of the shopping centre and across two car parks my arms were aching. The iMac was very nice to use though!
Robert, you should have let "cloud" transport it to the car.
I have an old iMac and love it. I will probably replace it when the iMac's are introduced this year. I have no need for portability.
It has been a long time since they put out a new iMac - well beyond Apples usual time frame.
