Well, I got to compare the iMac and iMac 5k side by side. And I'm still no closer to a decision. There is a definite difference and looking closely it becomes apparent, but really it's only very minor and for anything other than serious 4k video editing, I can't see that it'd make any difference.
Saying that, now that I've seen it, would I pay the £350-400 premium over a non-5k iMac? Yeah, I would. The question is, would I pay the £800-900 premium over the PC equivalent of the non-5k iMac? Highly unlikely. But then for that £900 extra, you get the rest of the benefits of having a Mac, so I'm still on the fence.
