Personally, I’d compromise on the storage but go higher on the RAM. My reason for that is that these are sealed machines, and so with less RAM even if I don’t notice a performance issue due to fast SSD, there’ll be lot more paging and swap use. So, if one intends to use these machines for long, I mean 5-10 year long, then I believe as high RAM as possible and some comprise in storage is better. IMHO of course.
