Really depends on what you are going to do with it. For me I do graphics and video so I went with the 27" 3.4 i7, Nvidia 680.

Bear in mind the extra real estate would be bloody handy with Logic. Think about the extra number of tracks you're going to be able to have on screen with a 27".

If you're getting a 27" - upgrade the RAM yourself, don't pay Apple's prices.

And the i5 will be good enough for logic IMO. The i7 will obviously be faster, but it depends how much $$$ that speed bump is worth to you.

I'd just stick with the 2.9 in that case. It will be fine for what you're doing .
