In my opinion, it's just plain weird for a server to require the presence of a monitor.
Many servers sit alone in a closet and have zero use for a display.
And, I am talking about sighted users.

HiJim

I used to have one that a friend made for me. But it stopped working on the 2010 models I tried. Ours are server models and they seem to sometimes work alright without the display but not always.

The primary server is a 2009 MacBook, (late 2009) and it definitely requires a display. The mid 2010 versions seem to need it but not always. My advice to you to be utterly honest would be stick with what you have unless you have a compelling reason to switch. You'll lose a lot of the advantages of the MacBook series and other than additional ports I can't see why you'd want to switch to the Mini being totally honest.

The Mini is not designed for portability. It is marketed as a desktop computer. That's why it is logical that it needs a monitor.

I don't suppose there is a way to have a dummy terminator plug to fool the computer in thinking that it is connected to a display?

Cheers.
