2.8GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
16GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM
256GB Flash system drive (I'll buy some external Thunderbolt or USB3 storage)
Anyone have any experience with the Mac Minis?

Mac Mini's from like 2012 were great machines. Intel i7 quad core, decent memory expansion and so on. Now, they're overpriced and underpowered.
You can build a great i7 4790 Z97 Pro machine for under $1k, which would allow you to upgrade to the next Intel CPU once they're released. "Building" a computer could not be any more simple and I'd highly recommend a quad core i7 over a dual core.
