I'm going to upgrade from my early 2009 24" iMac (3.06 Dual Core) to the newer 27" i5 Quad Core (2.66). Any advice/observations from owners of this particular iMac model? I really like the LED backlit display as compared to my current 24" iMac. Is this really a significant upgrade? The 24" iMac was my first Mac and I was really impressed. Any and all advice/comments are welcome. Thanks!

May God Bless!

Hugely more powerful processor, significantly better video card, faster ram, more screen, and its LED backlit?

Duh, yeah, I'd say this is a significant upgrade.
