I am in the "buy the lowest end model because they will depreciate the least and upgrade next time there's a major refresh" camp.

For a tower desktop, that's what I'd do, but this is an AIO. Other than RAM & the HDD, there's no room for upgrades.

I have a HP MS214 AIO desktop, and wished that I had selected one with the largest CPU possible. Can't do it now.

That's why I always recommend with AIO desktops, to get the largest CPU offered. The user can easily upgrade the RAM & HDD at the time of their choosing, usually for less than the OEM offers these upgrades for. Newegg offers both for less than half over what Apple charges.

I did a 180 from where i started. Just ordered the base model. I may be able to put the extra cash toward a tv. Thanks to all. This will be our first Mac. Looking forward to the switch. I'll probably be back with other questions soon! Cheers
