I'm currently trying to decide what iMac to buy.

I'm currently hesitating between
27" i5 2,7 Ghz with 8Go RAM and using a SSD (+ 1To HDD)
or
27" i7 3,4 Ghz with 8Go RAM with a normal 1To HDD.

I know SSD hard drive are fast, but expensive.
How would both configuration compare?
Does anyone have any insight on this?

Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks!
