The Fiery and the iMac are a bit redundant. Once you have the iMac you can
dump the Fiery and add a softRIP on the Mac, allowing better custom profile
based processing then the EFI software. BestRIP or PraxiSoft's Mach I would
require a PC, but you could use ProofInk or a number of other Mac based
soft-RIPs on the iMac.
