Fusion is nice.  After you've used a given app (say Photoshop) a few 
times, suddenly it loads much quicker.  But it doesn't improve 
processing much (or probably at all).

For photos I'd store "in-work" photography on the iMac and library stuff 
in 2 or more external drives keeping one "off site" if possible.

So no real need for 3 TB (though my previous iMac had 2 after I upgraded 
it from 500 GB.)  My curreny iMac has 1 TB / Fusion.

I'd put money on memory (order 8 GB standard from Apple; then add 16 GB 
from Crucial (et al) to get up to 24 GB) rather than the internal HD.
