I would consider waiting a little while to see if the iMac/Mac Pro chip
is a big leap. The M1 machines do look very good and at worse that's
what will be in those, but we may see another gear being used for those.
I'm also at the 'do I upgrade?' point ever more emphatically now (still
running Mojave). Would a new Mac Mini run three monitors, does anyone
know? That's my dealbreaker and that's why I got a mac pro ten years
ago...
I don't need 4k (nor can I afford it!) and some of the stuff I've read
implies that lower-res monitors can be connected in higher numbers (I
can't work out what actually sets the limits, since all the ports seem
to be the same now)
Cheers,
J

This may be of interest as well as there are pros and cons between the
2 Mac Minis now on sale.

Cheers Sam,
I may get the 27” version of the monitor you just bought to go with
it, (Shame it only has 2 USB ports.)
Thanks for the response.
Steve.

I think from all the reports of M1 macs beating current
intel-based Macs in most processor based scores, it’s safe to say
the new M1 Mac mini will be many times quicker than a 2012 iMac even
with its dedicated graphics card.

I have a 2012 27” iMac which may not be long of this world, nor
will it run the next generation operating system.
THINKING about replacing my iMac with a stand alone monitor and a Mac
mini but it is not clear to me how much more powerful, (If at all.)
the new mini is compared to the old iMac, as Apple do not seem to
show the machine spec for the mini in a meaningful way, (At least,
not to me.)
Does anyone have a view?
Cheers,
Steve.
