Can you explain your use-case? PS: 8GB user

  I have 16 Gb in the MBP I use for photo editing, and more memory would be really nice. I'll sometimes have Capture One, DxO Optics, and PixelMator open at the same time, and I notice a performance impact versus only having one of them open. They don't die outright, but performance suffers when there's not enough memory to hold many preview and thumbnail images in memory. I have Linux running on an old iMac, also with 16 Gb, and I've hit the boundary there a few times, too, but usually only when I'm playing with 3D graphic rendering. More memory never hurts, and often speeds things up. There's also the psychological aspect that if I'm buying a new machine I want it to be bigger and better than the ones I already have.
