Out of curiosity, what do you want your $1200 Mac to do that the quad core Mac Mini doesn't ?

A better GPU and more hard drive slots I'm guessing ?

Hopefully both of those can be solved via Thunderbolt addons in the near future.

I'm guessing you'd also like more RAM slots as well, which is more of a problem (I really wish the MacBook Pro had 4 slots).
