The Early Access part of the sale ends later today, after which it will open up for everyone.

Why the heck don't they ever have specials on the all-SSD iMacs?

I don't want a freaking fusion drive, I want all SSD. But those are never discounted. :(

Because people will still buy them at regular price.

The best deal you'll get for a new all SSD iMac is the Apple Refurbished Store. I know they are technically not considered brand new, but from all my experiences, the difference is indistinguishable.
The 2015 iMacs would be selling at an additional discount than they were a year ago. Use a site tracking site like Refurb Store to subscribe for alerts when your desired configuration becomes available again for sale.

What's funny is I actually would prefer the 2015 iMac because it still has TOSlink output (the 2017 models don't) and the performance difference is negligible. I have one on my desk at work and love it. So I may go this route.

Sadly there are no systems matching what I want right now but I'll keep checking.

I can't remember the last time I didn't buy a new Mac as a refurb. Some have even said they're better because they have been tested more thoroughly after being rebuilt. Whether or not that's true, I will say that I've bought at least 5 Macs as refurbs and have never gotten any with hardware issues.

There isn't a "deal" to be had on that list. Sign-in to the Education Store any time of the year and you'll get the same or better "deal" as listed above.

Makes sense. I've had plenty of out of the box defects with new Macs. Of course, Apple is great about repairing them for free, but it's still a huge hassle that would interrupt work if I didn't have a backup Mac.
