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 one, but I don't even notice it once it's setup. It's not like an iMac will get moved daily like a laptop would and connect/disconnected often.
I see a little value because it makes the iMac thinner and it handles the Ethernet cable and keeps cable management simpler.
The downside: a $5 cable became a $130 cable.
But while I agree with the thoughts, he did say "charger", sooooo….
So I dunno what you have to spend, but $800 worth of Mac mini + monitor did not fit the bill, for me.

The 4K LG monitor I referenced is literally sitting in a closet right now. Both of my M1 iMacs get daily use.

It has nothing to do with speed, rather text and UI scaling.
The scaling issue is real, simply because in macOS, text is not crisp on a native 4K monitor.
Also the relative size of UI assets is always either too big or too small relative to native content, especially compared to the rest of Macs with screens and/or the Studio Display/Pro Display XDR.
