[QUOTE="martyp, post: 1013465, member: 61183"] Hey Brent, To be honest, either iMac will be fine for your needs. However, if you have the extra 200 bucks I'd recommend getting the i7. You may not need it right now, but a year or two down the line you'll be glad you did. Although investing the money in RAM is also very beneficial - don't buy it from Apple, get it from OWC since it is dramatically cheaper. The 4Gb in my MBP is pretty much all gone when running Aperture and some Nik Software plug-ins. So I'd recommend upgrading to 8Gb to keep up. Lr 2.6 is painfully slow on OS X too compared to the Windows version in my experience, hence why I use Aperture. [/QUOTE]
