Can’t say I’d take an iMac over a Mini, given that they have the same specs under the hood. The Mini tucks away out of sight, then all you have on the desk is a monitor. Not to mention the Mini is easy to move between rooms/monitors if needed.
I’d rather put the money into a high quality Adobe colour space, high refresh rate monitor. I haven’t found any motivation to get a 4K monitor yet, rather have dual 1440p ones. Work flow preference I suppose. As for refresh rate, once you get beyond 60Hz, it’s almost painful to go back. Opening windows in the Finder, drop down menus, even moving the mouse around, feels painfully slow on a 60Hz monitor. Of course if all you do is look at spreadsheets all day, 30Hz would do.
