That's kind of Apple's tiered upselling plan, isn't it? ;-/

But as an Apple user I concur completely. The awful experience of bloated apps (or multiple VMs) slowing your system to a crawl isn't worth the few hundred dollars you saved by opting for a lower memory SiP.

$400 to upgrade 8GB to 24GB is a significant jump and more than a "few hundred"
$400, while indeed a significant jump, absolutely is "a few hundred," given that $200 is "a couple hundred." In my reckoning, "a few hundred" starts around $250 and arguably runs up to $750, where "almost a thousand" could be said to start.
To me (neither of us is right, or wrong), 200 - couple, 3 or 400 - few, 500+ - several, 750+ - almost a thousand.
