I refuse to pay apples extortionate prices for storage on principle. Fuck 360 for a 512 Gb sky high.
Fusion drives are actually pretty good plus you can split them so your OS and apps are on the ssd and the spinner is storage. Or get the fastest external storage you can which will outpace the internal for less £.

Gah, iMac choices.
Wading through stuff online, the £1249 i3 four-core 21.5" plus the £90 upgrade to Fusion Drive is the absolute minimum to go for, it seems. Or there's the six-core i5 with FD as standard at £1449… but not sure the better processor will make much difference for what I do.
But Fusion Drive is bloody old-tech by now. Is it a good idea to stick to the i3 but spunk £360 instead on the mid-size 512gb SSD? That's £1600, which is top of my budget.
