RichardRight Says: Oh to be one for whom a $40 price difference is no big deal...
Chadthebuilder Says: Same here. I just could not justify the $40 price increase for it. I ordered the 16, and it should be plenty for me.
CarbonOak Says: I heavily debated over the 16 GB vs the 32 GB and decided to go with the former. I don't watch many movies or TV shows and most of my music is streamed over Google Play. Sure it's "only" $40, but that's $40 I can spend elsewhere
We all have our needs... some.. Much Greater than others..
Stores & Outlets seem to be selling out of the 32 Gb units and have stock on the 16 Gb's... I don't know what that says about the buying public at large and how they look at the $40.00 difference to Double you storage capabilities..
I also look at the Resale Value of what I purchase as well... And ask myself, would I want the Base Model or maybe the Mid-Range Model..
The LTE version of the Nexus-7 2013 has an asking price of $349.00.. That unit is beyond my limit... Can I use that $40.00 I paid Walmart for something else? of course.. but I felt the upgrade was well worth the cost for me.. I don't buy tablets everyday.. and if I am going to spend over $230.00 dollars on one and NOT be 100% satisfied. it makes no sense to not spend $40.00 more and BE 100% satisfied.. I've already Unlocked my Bootloader, installed a Custom Recovery and Rooted my Nexus-7 2013.. I've backed up the original image, the stock image with all my apps installed and the ROM image of my Rooted Deodexed Custom ROM.. that alone has eaten up almost 5 Gb's of space.. If I still had the Base Model Nexus-7 I would be down to a little over 5 Gb's left in just 48 hours of owning the unit.. I would be shaking in my boots if that were the case.. As it stands now, I still have well over 20 Gb's free and clear.. for me, it's a No Brainer.. I made the right move by Upgrading to the Mid-Range Model.
