I doubt people would have as much of a problem with the base model were it not for the large prices on each tier of RAM. Each 8 Gb is somehow $200. It seems like a scam to list at $1,600, but then, surprise, you need an extra $200 to get to the level of RAM you expect in a professional device. I assume you are right if they only go up to 24 max, but they should explain better why 8 Gb is acceptable.
