I actually just purchased a 21.5 inch iMac with 3.1 GHz i7 and the fusion drive. Its miles faster than what i was working with previously (a 2009 iMac core 2 duo, amazing i got rendering done on it). Been to the store a thousand times and read every comparison guide i could find and ultimately bought the supercharged 21inch thinking 6 inches wouldn't make or break my work. but to unplug my 2009 iMac and see the 24 in display next to the 21inch it just feels so small. I know the aspect ratio is different but i feel like I'm losing screen real estate. the painful bit is to exchange this one and get the 27 inch with the fusion drive and i7 it would set me back a whopping 700 bucks with tax. So the question is, my fellow photographer/videographers is it worth 100 an inch and a bit faster processor with the 3.9 GHz (i think comes with the 27) I have a second monitor but having just purchased the iMac I can't tell how much it'll affect my work and only have a few days to decide to return it.
