Right decision?

[urbankaos]

I currently have a Late 2009 21.5" iMac
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
500 GB Hard Drive
Mac OS X Lion

it was bought used but great condition for about £800 I think, quite awhile back now so cant quite remember the exact price, it also came with the Remote and i've hooked it to my 42" Plasma TV....
but for some reason i've always been hooked on the bigger Computer screens so i've always wanted a 27" but didnt want to pay silly Apple prices for the newest Model...

so I just bought a Late 2009 27" iMac for £999
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB (but I will make that to 12 GB using my other Memory)
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
1 TB Hard Drive
and again i'll put Mac OS X Lion on it


was there really much point in me doing this?
or should I of kept with the 21.5?
or was it good to get the 27"?

any Feedback would be appreciated....
thanks

If you have to ask, you probably did not do the right thing. For not much more (when they're in stock) you could've gotten a 2011 refurbished 27".

From where?
and I only had £1090 on me,
obviously get to sell my 21.5" aswell,
but where can you get refurbished ones from for that similar price?
