iMac vs. Mac mini

If it was me making this purchase, I would try to stretch and get the 27 inch iMac. It's upgradeable, has the most up to date hardware, and a larger screen (when I was deciding, the 21.5 was nice but the 27 is better, especially for photo work!)

The 27" is a nice machine.

I really wish that the iMacs came with SSD standard like the MacBook Pro and air...

Their drives aren't that expensive for being PCI-E though. The best the PC space has to offer is the Mushkin 480GB PCI-E drive for around $750... assuming you actually need 750MB/s read/write for heavy duty video work or something.

I'm personally surprised that there are S-IPS monitors in 2013/14 that don't cover 100% sRGB, I think Tony may have meant adobe RGB? I know for sure that the 27" iMac display only does 80% aRGB.

No, it's only about 97% sRGB and 75% aRGB (LG panel). It dropped below sRGB when they switched from CFL to LED.
