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.
