I am kind of "settling" on the S8 because of the smaller size. But, it has every function the S8+ has. So, I consider that a good savings of $130.

I thought the same thing too (coming from a 7 Plus, going to a Moto Z, selling it off to get an LG G6 that I just dropped off to preorder the S8). But, I realized I've been having typo issues lately with the Google Keyboard (Gboard), so I decided to spend the extra cash, canceled the S8 and preordered the S8 Plus. I didn't want to regret and have to go through the whole return and preorder process, especially if it can mess with the Gear VR and Immersive Bundle registration.
I realized that I've been typing better on the 7 Plus, maybe because of Apple's own on-screen keyboard, but also because the new phones seem narrower, and the S8 no exception to that rule (it is actually a larger diagonal, but narrower, see below). So, having those extra millimeters in width for the S8 Plus may make all the difference for me in terms of typing accuracy.
Considering that T-Mobile required me to put down $60 for the S8, adding the additional $70 didn't seem like such a big deal. I'm not planning on JUMP!ing to the Note 8, and also since the first rep that set up the S8 preorder just HAD to charge me $20 for the phone order, he happily credited my account the same $20 in the process. So, when the new rep canceled the S8 and set up the S8 Plus preorder, not only did he NOT charge me $20 for the phone order, the previous $20 credit was already applied to the account. So, the Plus upgrade was effectively just $50 more.
