Mac mini and FCPX

My 2008 24" iMac has lost its logic board. A new one is expensive. My FCPX events & projects are on external drive.
It's time to move on.
I am thinking about buying the new Mac mini with full configuration; i7 processor 2.6 GHz,
16 GB of Ram, 1 TB Fusion drive.
How does it work with FCPX? How is the Intel HD Graphics 4000 with full HD files, Pro Res? backround rendering and transcoding? Video monitoring with 1 or 2 screens?
How does the Mac mini in comparisom to MBP of the same price range? about 1500.

My 2007 17" MBP died at one point. Bad GPU chip set, bad mother board, bad hard drive. Apple retail store has a flat fee for repairs on non-warranty work. $350 got me a new drive, board, GPU chip set, basically a whole new set of guts. The batter was replace two years before under Apple Care. I've got it up for sale now if anyone is interested.

Anyway, the current maxed out Mac Mini will run FCP X fine. Dual monitors may tax it a tad. I personally would prefer, and just purchased, the 15" rMBP.

Barefeats and others have some test specs posted. As for price, you'll spend more on the MBP to get the full 16GB RAM model. Depends on if you need to be portable or not. If money is an issue, the Mac Mini is nice, but not top of the line. A MBP would be more money, but a more powerful machine.
