Mac Mini 2012 quad cores are popular because they're significantly better than the existing mac minis which are dual core. The non server version also boost a dedicated graphics card.

But take in mind that OS X Sierra is already only support Mac Mini 2010 and above. Buying an old mac means you may be stuck at one OS sooner or later.

If its no biggie to you, by all means.

One thing worth mentioning about Mac mini late 2012 and later is they have Bluetooth 4.0 LE.
It means you can use the handoff and Continuity function between iOS devices and MacOS devices.
And it is the last model that allows you to upgrade your RAM easily (RAM is soldered in the later version of mini)...

If I were to buy a mini, I'd definitely choose this Late 2012 mini...
