Do you think fusion will be standard on next 21.5" imac?

[Tough Guy]

The price to upgrade is outrageous today and not in line with SSD prices at all. Anyone think fusion will become standard by the time the next 21.5" imac is released?

I'm not entirely sure. They've only recently introduced the bottom-end iMac which has opened up a whole new market for them (in NZ the new one is $1499 whereas the bottom used to be $1999). That's a big difference to a lot of people wanting to buy a home computer -- it's a bit more than a normal computer rather than double.

I think they'll continue to offer a bottom-end machine, which might not have Fusion.
