I'm on my phone so bear with me...
You nailed it upgradeability is the main difference.
The memory is a different form factor and harder to come by... as always with macs buying the memory elsewhere (not from apple) will save you qite a bit just be sure with an I-mac to get the correct type. with an I-mac you have to expand externaly with hard disk space periferals and the built in monitor is your main think that it is more dificult to go dual fool (if your not planing to then is not a problem).
sounds to me like all you will need is photoshop and if you want server space for easy hosting/bacup/free usefull software a mac dot com account.
Call me if you want further details...
as for software if it was written opensource in C++ you can probably compile it with OS X's BSD like guts... if you know how to abuse the Gimp for instance don't need photoshop....
thake care man and GL.... BTW I didn't get the Apple Care and you don't need to take the upsell after the one year you can go bare and then change your mind they just require a inspection to make sure it is in working order then yer GTG wish I had with my old G4...I mean my high tech doorstop
