I finally placed the order but substituted 2 Hitachi Deskstar 2TB hard drives for the Toshibas. I don't have experience with Toshiba drives and the warranty is for two years as opposed to three for the Hitachis. I have always used Hitachi Deskstars and had no problems. Their write speed is slower and the cache is smaller, but I'm willing to trade some speed for known reliability. The Hitachis also cost less than half the Toshiba price.

I'll be ordering the 5K Retina iMac within a few days. Wish me luck!
