These modules are fine; concerning the price, I'm in Europe, I'm not aware of the prices you can find in the US
But it seems cheaper than in France 
Ok. Just put my order in for 32GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport (2x16GB Kits) from BH Photo. $177.98 & Free shipping.

Good choice! Crucial Ballistix rules! I'm very happy with these modules
Nice! I almost went that route! I ended up with two of these bad boys for 32GB's as well!

Not sure, I'll find out as soon as my iMac gets here. I hope the 1866 is faster as it was $100 cheaper.
You're my new best friend!!!

When's that
Also it seems upon reading that the Kingston can do 1600 at CL9, 1866 at CL10, 2133 at CL11 and 2400 at CL12
Am I reading it wrong? So we might find out that that iMac 5k might support up to 2400mhz automatically since the CPUs do
I'm not testing anything until Apple ships my iMac!

The crucial kit you posted is only 1600 MHz. Will this be an issue? Doesn't it need to be 1866? If so is there a better crucial kit at 1866mhz but not the ballistix?

As long as the ram is 1866 or 1867 you can mix the ram with the current ram the comes in your iMac. This information come straight from a person at Apple that I spoke to. So you could do 2 4GB ram sticks and two 8gb ram sticks. Don't mix the ram in different slots keep it in pairs.
The market wasn't great (at least at Amazon) prior the launch, but yet it got worse.
what does everyone think of this?
Maybe we should add it to that list of ram modules to be tested??

Is this compatible with the Late 2015 iMac 27?

This should work I am tempted to go with this since most of the ram on amazon is sold out or back ordered
