Two reasons.

First: I have 2x30" screens. I don't want to go down.

Second: I can't put multiple HDDs and SSDs in an iMac.

The new system replaces a 24" iMac I bought in 2008. It made it for 5 years; the only upgrades were extra RAM when new and swapping the HDD for an SSD about 2.5 years into its lifetime.

I don't know how long I'll keep this one. Under Australia's small business equipment rules, it's already fully depreciated. So there's no accounting purpose to hold onto it if I don't want to.

With the iMac you would have 1x27" and 1x30" — that's not too bad is it? (That's my current setup and I find it quite good.)

I dunno why, but the inconsistency is grating to me.

I'm the same. I even put my monitor on a book to make it perfectly in line with my imac.

The 27" iMac has two ThunderBolt ports so you could run both of those monitors, and the 27" that's built-in.
