As long as you don't run too much at once, the base model will do just fine.
I run many apps at once and I am a web developer, so this model is a little too slow for me (I have a MacBook Air with a 1.3 GHz processor, so I thought the base model would be just fine, but clearly the SSD in the MacBook Air makes a big difference). However, for running many applications at once, you need to consider the middle model.
I have the 1.4 GHz Mac mini myself and for non-heavy use, it works just fine. Intel has done a remarkable job to make their CPUs more energy efficient without compromising too much on processor performance. In contrast, the new 1.4 GHz Mac mini (Late 2014) has a "Average CPU Mark" benchmark score of 3620. According to PassMark, the processor in the 2 GHz Mac mini from 2009 has an "Average CPU Mark" of 1315. Processor clockspeed is becoming increasingly irrelevant nowadays as it does not really equate to actual processor performance. The 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor is faster than the Intel Core 2 Duo processor in your 2009 Mac mini.
