When I looked at userbenchmark.org the i3 came out ahead. Apple’s SSDs are top notch, crossing 3Gbps. RAM is upgradeable on the mini so you can save a couple hundred, plus OSX memory management is so much better than windows you’ll only feel any difference if doing heavy video/audio/3D workloads.
For some reason a TB3 NVMe enclosure is dirt cheap, around €40, and gives you full speed access to whatever SSD you like!
I just got a mini for myself - main driver being the OS, I can’t be productive on my windows pc. Got the i5 and 256gb for ~$1200, which gives me same power as a high end 15”MBP at a quarter of the price. Mac OS is worth the €200 markup alone.
