I'd jump on a Mac Mini with the fastest processor and SSD drive, but I'm put off by the limit of 16GB RAM. I realize that is probably enough now, but might not be in the near future.
I did some reasonably rigorous testing on OS X 10.6.8 with LR 4.X and Photoshop CS6 a while back, and concluded that 8 GB/core was the effective
minimum for a usable system. Not ideal, mind you: just usable.*
Apple has improved the memory management somewhat in OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"). My impression from watching the Apple Activity Monitor app—I haven't done any instrumentation of my own—is that the garbage collection routines (to free up real memory) are somewhat more aggressive (albeit not up to the standard of enterprise UNIXes), and that the new memory compression feature reduces demand-paging to some extent. But especially if you're going to be running Photoshop coactively with Lightroom (i.e., launching PS from LR using the "Edit In" menu pick), you may find a machine with a hard 16 GB real memory limitation to be confining.
I'll probably pop for one of the new Mac Pros, myself, but as Josh-H points out you can get a lot of bang for your buck with one of the older Mac Pro systems.
Of course, you can get even more bang for your buck with a machine running MS-Windows. But you may consider that—as I do—a cure worse than the disease.

generalize to images with lower pixel count and bit depth.
