Yeah I think with how efficient MacOS's memory compression is, the swap works _really_ well. You can have a lot of things open, as long as those things aren't active/too heavy it all works smoothly.

Popping open Activity Monitor, when I have a lot open my swapfile regularly hits 6GB and memory pressure is yellow, but I'd have no idea otherwise.

Not to say the rumoured 12GB in the next Neo wouldn't be better, but for the price you can't go wrong.
