I think you are bonkers going with the 2013 iMacs. They are toys - flashy machines hat look good and run fine, but you can make something amazing yourself for less.
The 27-inch offers a great experience. Fast, takes lots of RAM, big screen -- far less reflective than the old iMacs, impressively skinny. Toss in a Fusion drive and you'll almost certainly have an excellent experience during the 3-4 years of productive life a workstation gets in the corporate graphics world.
The $$ you save, you can buy two 512 GB SSDs and RAID. Better than a fusion drive.
We just purchased a beautiful 27 inch monitor - for $600.
If you are doing video, an old-fashioned desktop is a better deal. Yes, less elegant. But when you need a truck, you don't want a glossy pickup.
So, you'd advise professionals to go with hackintoshes or Windows PCs.
Gotcha.
