If you buy and install Office for Mac 2011 then you can run Excel.

Microsoft makes a version of MS Office for OS X, so yes, Excel runs on an iMac if you have the OS X version of Excel.
If you consider opening original Excel files that require use of macros and custom spreadhseets designed with controls, then go for Excel.
If you are not a heavy spreadsheet user but also want to have a nice design of tables together with your charts where you can freely arrange then Numbers is a good choice.
Excel is capable of handling much more data and a great quantity of formulas predefined.
I am a heavy user of Excel but Numbers seems very nice to design final reports and have some fine charts.
