I've always thought of the smaller iMac as a compromise machine, for people who couldn't swing the budget or space for the 27".
The 24" iMac is different. To me, it's the first small iMac to stand on its own. The screen is big enough for most applications and it's fast.
The only big downside is that it has no RAM or SSD expansion, so it has a relatively more limited shelf life than the beautiful screen it holds.
I will still hold out for a more 'Pro' version with the larger screen option.
But instead of telling friends to just spring for the big one, I think I'll be recommending this machine to a lot of people.
