Are you going to use large sample libraries (orchestral, etc.)? If so,  
then iMac is not an option as you will need to upgrade it to at least  
8 GB of RAM and have at least 1 more internal HD (I would recommend 2  
extra HDs, one for storing your sample libraries and the other for  
tracking). OTOH if you only work with synths and small libraries this  
is all moot and you're good to go with an iMac.

Best,

Andy
