Any 27" Ultimate Builds in Apple Stores?

I hear they have an "ultimate" SKU for the 27" including 3.4 i7 / 16GB / 680MX / 1TB Fusion in the stores. Might be hard to find -- call before you go.
Apple would be smart to look at what combination is selling the most and selling it in stores but i don't see it happening for a while. I would say the 27" i7 with 680mx, 8GB ram and 1TB fusion would be a very popular BTO.
I would think ultimate would mean 3TB...ill have to order online.
I have heard conflicting reports on whether this "ultimate" in-store config has 8 or 16GB of RAM, but I am quite sure it doesn't include the 3TB Fusion -- probably because it's an expensive (US$400 over base), relatively niche upgrade.
Humm.... Last time I was at the Apple Store they did not even have any 27's on display. Just the 21. I think I will stop out today and have a look. Though when I was considering the 21, all the store had in stock was the 2 base models. No Fusion in anything. That led me to order online, then I figured why not go 27".
That led me to order online, then I figured why not go 27". I asked in my local Apple store and they are stocking a model that has the i7/8GB/1TB Fusion but they have received very few of them and already have a waiting list for the additional models that are coming in.
YES, i picked one up last Saturday after calling / stopping by all 7 apple stores in my area:
This is the 'ultimate' one that they do/will carry:
3.4 i7 / 8GB / 680MX (2GB) / 1TB
The business team didn't even know he had one in stock, but one of the floor reps did...Just keep trying!

Yep, I think that's the best way to get it.
I checked with the two apple stores here in Columbus, OH and neither had any 27". The one at Easton said that they had no iMacs period. Wait for me
Called my store and asked if they had ANY 27's in stock and they said they had none at all. Looks like I wait till the one I ordered online ships sometime in January.
hey guys, first time poster long time lurker. Got my first iMac and wanted to wait to see how the reviews came in. Wanting it prior to close of 2012 I had a friend call his business rep and they had one in stock. Picked it up and so far all 100%. Said they are receiving 3-4 of the 27 ultimate's per day right now and maybe 8-10 of other 21-27 configurations. They are out there just need to be patient and call every day.
