          Damn you got lucky. Well hopefully my B&H machine stays fast enough. PITA returning stuff to them.

          Amazing deal. Still have the first gen 5k iMac that was $2500 for just the base model... for now think I’ll wait for thinner bezel Face ID enabled redesign.

          It depends on your use, Memory on the Apple 27" 5K 2017 model is very easy to upgrade, it has memory upgrade access panel above the power supply. For myself, 1TB fusion drive is way more than enough.

          Not really, and especially not on this i5. the i5 in this computer does not have hyperthreading.  
 
That 30% thing was only concerning hyper-threading, and you had to go and turn it off...

          Absolutely the better deal. 128GB vs 32GB SSD, upgrading on these models is a PITA and better graphics card.

          thats weird. I was able to price match earlier today by calling the 800 number.  I guess I got a newbie rep.

          They do NOT any more. This changed in November. I ordered one from BB (for easier returns), and called for a price match. Didn't believe the rep, so I looked it up for myself.

          can you recommend which one you got for both items?  And what do you do now with the internal drive, storage only?  Does it have the system still on it or did you wipe that?
