I'd go for the larger screen. Why? I have a 21.5" iMac at home and a 27" iMac + a 27" Thunderbolt display at work. The extra inches are well worth it! When I upgrade my iMac at home it will definitely be to a 27" model. I'll pass on the Thunderbolt display though. While my company can easily afford it I personally would have a harder time doing so.
iMacs are nice because they don't seem to age the same way a Windows based PC does even though the hardware is similar in many ways. I kept my first iMac from 2004 to 2011 until the power supply blew out. Although it was a PPC based model it worked quite well to the very end. I intend to keep my current iMac for at least the same amount of time, 7 to 9 years. If the price difference between the 21.5" and 27" models is $300 then spread over 8 years that's $37.50 per year. It seems minimal.
My real dream is for a very powerful Mac Mini hooked up to a non-Apple display. The Apple displays are very nice but also very expensive.
