New versions of any computer from Apple tend to stay close to retail. Their refurbs are good as new for a small savings. They ship in a different box these days, but that's the only difference.
Best way to speed up is max memory and a faster hard drive. In a mini the hard drive is a pain to swap, but doable.
Good Luck |

Everything is said above.
Unless you get lucky with the Craigslist, the refurb store is the best option...
