B&H Photo is offering a few solid deals on Apple's 24-inch iMac, starting with the 7-core GPU/256GB model for $1,199.00, down from $1,299.00. This price is only available in the Pink color, and Silver is at a second-best price of $1,229.00 on B&H Photo and Amazon.

At $100 off, this sale is a match of the previous all-time low price on the 24-inch iMac. We've only seen this sale one or two times so far in 2022, so if you're in the market for the M1 iMac, now is a good time to buy.
In another sale, B&H Photo is discounting the 8-core GPU/256GB 24-inch iMac to $1,349.00, down from $1,499.00. You can get the iMac in Orange and Silver at this price point, and B&H does point out that there is limited supply.

I have two and they function fine and beyond the limits you describe.
Professional software developer here. The only scenario where I've seen any slow-down whatsoever is when I attempt to run Docker which, on a mac, requires spinning up a VM and just gobbles up RAM. EVERYTHING ELSE including my multimedia hobbies run fantastic.
I own both an 8GB M1 iMac and a 16GB M1 Pro and observe almost no difference whatsoever in terms of the user experience. Only when I'm rendering out long running tasks does the M1 Pro exhibit a meaningful difference.
YMMV with heavy multimedia workloads that require Real Time performance, but those people aren't making decisions based on comments in a message board.
I always keep at least 60% of the flash storage free for the inevitable virtual memory needs, and to extend the usable life of the machine.
…if only they brought back target display mode!
