Updates to iMacs are imminent (October/November), so I would suggest you wait. There is a possibility we'll see a 2TB SSD offered in the next iMac 5K.

It also depends whether you want run bootcamp on a Fusion drive, in this case the windows partition will be installed on the mechanical drive, which I wouldn't be happy about at all. Otherwise I think Fusion drive is sufficient.
