    I got a build to order 27" before Xmas. No issues whatsoever. Fusion Drive is great, the 680mx GFX card eats everything I throw at it, the 3.4CPU is blazing fast.

    I have all my data (work, iTunes, iPhoto etc) on external RAID drives so having no DVD is not an issue. I do have an external superdrive from my MacBook Air which works perfectly, but I'd budget for an external BluRay (about £60-80) over a DVD external, at least then you can archive anything onto BluRay if you need to (and rip the BluRays to iTunes if that's your bag).

    I'd recommend one.

    Also, it never gets hot so they have definitely sorted the cooling in these late 2012 models.
