Hi all! I read here all day but even then and with all my knowledge I'm not certain as to what to do.

I never had a Mac. Been apple fan for long with Ipod, Iphone and Ipad 1 and 2. Been a little dream of mine to have one of the top of the line Imac since the colored one way back. I was young and money was flowing like crazy so never had a chance to save up for one. Now things are different and my wife knows that my next computer is gonna be an Imac worth around 1600-1700...(I'm Canadian by the way)

We have a crappy 300$ laptop that is dying really bad but slowly. I have my big 3 years old quad 5870HD gaming machine in my MAME arcade machine that I cant really remove from there.

So after this wall of text introducing me heres my questions...

1 - Do I go with a 27" 6970m refurb at 1659$ (cdn) now.
2 - Do I wait for a possible redising (i can its just that I waited all those year...lol)
3 - Do you think the 1600$ 2012 model will be as good then than the top 27" from now
4 - About graphics, what could possibly be the difference with the top 6970m and the card then?
5 - Siri likely in 2012 model?


All those questions I surly can answer them myself but I just need opinion based on what I just said. Or I just need incentive to wait or to buy hahaha

I have the money, thats not the problem...its just my stupid need of thechnology that is really painfull right now.

By the way just sold my Ipad 2 in hope of a retina one in march...

So what would you do in my dilemna?

Thanks a lot for your time !
