Which Mac Mini for heavy video editing?

Hi, I am stuck on deciding which Mac Mini to get primarily for use with editing AVCHD green screen footage with many filters and transitions using Final Cut Pro X. It comes down to whether the CPU or GPU is more important. Either will have at least 8GB of RAM:

Mac Mini: 2.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 with AMD Radeon HD 6630M

Mac Mini Server: 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 with Intel HD Graphics 3000

Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
