The only question: If it's worth another $50 to get the (admittedly, orange only) model with touchID (easier logins and authentications), 1/8th more GPU grunt, 2 more USBC ports, and an ethernet port in the power supply (which is surprisingly convenient!)
I'd say it IS worth another $50 for most people: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/imac...22Deals%
(Just click on M1 8 Core and then the orange color to see the $850 price)
The best 'deal' is probably open box M1 8 GPU-core (touchID) for $800, excellent condition. That would be worth getting…

I have both a 8GB and 16GB M1 iMac, and they are great computers. I'm thinking of picking up a third!
Same specs my PC had in 2014. Enjoy your new Mac.

I used to be a quiet bystander to these things and now, (carefully and with tact) I'll try to offer some help when I spot this.
I would take a M1 8GB/256 over a 2020 MacBook Pro16in with 8-core intel/16GB (because I did switch)
I had a 2010 iMac, it's slow as dog and can only go up to... I think Maverick. Yes I know I can hack it to run latest but it's not worth the time because the machine is simply too slow even with SSD. The only thing worth saving is may be the monitor but it's not retina either....
So if you're saying you can't notice your 2011 iMac being much slower... lol I won't even use a last version of the 8-core Intel iMac 27" with 5k resolution because it's just not snappy like M1
M1 is MUCH FASTER for browsing and day to day use.

one note on the no touch ID point: if you wear an apple watch this becomes mostly a moot point as the watch can be the login, at least works well for me in a private setting.
