Bizarre choice to sell the stand separate from the monitor. Having four SKUs seems like it would have been the better call, at $5199 (gloss + VESA), $5999 (gloss + stand), $6199 (matte + VESA), and $6999 (matte + stand) respectively. "lol $1k monitor stand" seems to be dominating the narrative today, that can't be what Apple wanted out of this, and it was just a totally unforced error.

This makes the gap between the mini and the Pro even more glaring, too. I realize this refrain has been repeated for basically 20 years now, but a minitower Mac would just be sublime. The non-Pro iMac specs in a tower with a price tag ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 could certainly find a market.

Never gonna happen, though. 😕

Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.
