I'm in a Similar situation.
My iMac is a 2009 and JUST had its last possible OS upgrade to 10.11 which is one OFF the current pace of 10.12
I'm going to wait for the NEXT iMac Upgrade Cycle and THAN decide. That will get me another 8 or 10 years downstream by which time I won't care.
And yes, the lack of CDROM is bad, but maybe I'll get a BR instead? That's gonna give me a lot of ability to backup music and photography.

I'm on the fence too. I wouldn't mind having a new MacBook Pro but what I really need is the larger screen in an all-in-one desktop. The 27" iMac is too large for my needs.
The last iMac update included the Retina 4K display on one of the three available 21.5" models. The other two have the older standard resolution displays.
I'm waiting for the next 21.5" iMac update before I decide.
Many good ones are cheap now, and provide calibrated color and density palettes for critical visual work. No can do (or do well) with Apple eye-popper screens. Dell, NEC, LaCie and otherd make many different high-performance models for relatively not much.
Emphasis on relatively.
I think it is near-vital to get a SSD instead of the 'spinner'.
And while I currently have a 24" which I upgraded to (max) 8gb or ram, I'm still thinking of the Last Upgrade.
27" feeds into what is maybe 20-40 vision. I don't yet have to wear glasses to drive in CA. BUT, I'd still like the really big display.
Photo editing is much easier with more screen.

Absence of a CD ROM drive is really no big deal. My Macbook Air doesn't have one, but I have an outboard drive that runs on a USB port that works just fine. You couldn't pay me to go back to a windows machine, and I used nothing else for a long time.
