I have that iMac, but have an Apple Fusion 2 TB drive in it.
If I were in your shoes I'd use the internal drive as storage, have a similar sized external for cloning/backup, and operate off an external 500 GB SSD connected by USB3 or Thunderbolt. I have all Thunderbolt external drives, and booting off these is as fast or faster than the internal.
Just one man's opinion.
