Abe has precisely re-stated the question.And, for those who have forgotten (or weren't involved enough in such things) when Rosetta 1 came along 15 or 20 years ago.... Apple supported it for barely 2 years and then dropped support for it so quickly that many of us were left out in the cold and scrambling. There is precious little indication that they will not do the same again this time around. Especially with Timmy shut-up-and-buy-an-iPhone Cook now at the helm.
As for the remaining Intel machines.... first, compatibility works both ways. You may get a real deal on it, but part of the reason for that is that software (and updates) will very soon all become M1 native and your nice cheap Intel machine will be abandoned sooner than you think. (So...is it really such a deal?)
Second..... the 2018 Intel (current model) Minis are fairly loud in very quiet rooms such as my music room, whereas the M1's have much quieter mag-lev fans and are of significantly lower power consumption which therefore reduces the heat generated and need for the fan in the first place.
And, for those who mentioned library size....I'm currently running somewhere in the neighbourhood of 7000-9000 titles. (haven't counted lately)
