I just got my first iMac in the mail late last week. I was also a bit unsure on if I should get the 21.5" or the 27".
At the Apple Store, it was no question that I wanted the 27". The 21.5 was beautiful as well, but I wanted the extra screen space.
The second I opened the box to my 27" iMac, I was a bit overwhelmed. It is HUGE. I was sorta thinking "maybe I should have gotten the 21.5" one..."
It looked really huge next to my 21" Asus Monitor plugged into my Gaming PC.
After using the 27" inch, though, I have no regrets. This thing is great. When I go back to play games on my 21" monitor on my PC, it feels tiny now.
My vote is towards the 27" for everyone as long as your desk can handle it.
