About to upgrade to S6 - Is 64 GB enough?

I've had my S4 for about 3 years now and will probably be upgrading to the S6 this weekend. I'm very disappointed about the lack of a removable battery and external storage. I have a 32 GB card on my S4 and have done fine with that (storage wise). I do take a lot of pictures and download a lot of pictures, so I'm wanting to know if the 64 GB S6 will be good, especially in light of all the bloatware Verizon puts on their phones. 😟 Jailbreaking is not an option for me as I don't feel comfortable that I won't brick my phone.

The camera is one of my primary reasons for choosing the S6. Is it really worth it to go back on contract and pay to upgrade to the S6? Will I notice that much of a difference from the S4? I've actually been a bit disappointed with the S4's camera, but reviews seem to agree that the S6 camera is much better.

Thanks for any input that helps me finalize my decision. 😃
 
Going from the s4 to the s6 is like night and day. Camera is amazing on the s6. As far as storage I would get whatever works best for you.
 
A 64gb version will have 54gb of usable data once the system and bloat has been installed. So if you have survived fine with a 32gb, the 64gb version will be just fine for you.
 
I also came from the S4, I chose the 64 gb version of the S6 and I have tons of space left over. The S6's camera is so much better than the S4's, no more having to wait for the picture to "process" after snapping a picture. It's so much faster and the quality of the pictures are better.
 
Thank you all for your input. I'm feeling better and better about my decision and getting really excited to upgrade.
 
If you have that 32Gb card crammed full, you might want to go bigger. S6 photos are larger than S4 photos.
 
Thank you Gary and DD. I still have over half of the space left on my SD, so after reading all responses, I feel comfortable that the 64 GB will suit my needs. If needed, I'll periodically move some of my older pictures off the phone to my computer.
 
I bought the 64 gb version because I was so scared I wouldn't have room but 6 months later I have never used more than 50% of the storage
