Okay, I have owned an iMac, now own a mini. Now even though I love the portabiity of the mini, and that's room to room, not taking it out of the house. Don't have to do that since I can do 98 percent of what I do on my mac on my iPhone. The only reason I got a iMac to begin with, is I had no desire for a laptop anymore, and back then, you got more bang for your buck. So, it came with 4 gigs of ram, I put 12 more in for a total of 16, it had 1TB of hd space, and a 3.4 i7 quad core processor. So when I ran vm fusion on there, I saw no lag in either system. So yes, having it ready 24 7 is a plus, I almost never shut it down, but now the mini takes up much less space, I am getting just about everything in my mini that was in the iMac, with the plus side of a 1TB of ssd flash storage, and boy does it fly!!!!! I call it my dream machine, 16 gigs of ram, 2.6 quad core processor, and all around less power consumtion. I don't need the monitor, that's why I passed on the new 13 inch MBP, and slimmer model of the new iMac, any apple product you choose will not disapoint. So there is my 2 cent worth, good luck in your decision.
