Pixel 128 GB or Pixel XL 32 GB

[AC Question]

I ordered a Pixel 128 GB the other day that should be delivered to me at the end of November (maybe...) The reason I stayed away from the XL is because I always thought those bigger screens were just not for me. Then today I was in Best Buy and played around with a Note 5 they had there and realized, I kind of like the bigger screen. Now I am wondering if I should get the XL instead, but with the price, I can only afford the 32 GB version. Thus my question, is it better to get the Pixel at 128 GB or the XL at 32 GB.

I don't really keep a lot of apps on my phone, nor pictures though with the free cloud storage I guess the picture thing doesn't matter too much. Also, I know the Pixel XL is so out of stock that when you try to get one you just get put on a wait list, but that doesn't bother me since my phone now works just fine. I do want this phone to last for the next two years at least and am wondering if the GB really matter in that regard. Thanks for any help/ advice you guys can give me!

It comes down to storage. I am a premium Spotify user and always have the maximum songs at the highest quality downloaded (about 4,000) songs. I also use the camera a lot and I don't like to clean out my photos. I also have room for MP3s should I wish to download them as some of my favorite music isn't available on Spotify.

If you like to listen to music on your phone and subscribe to any of the DRM services -- Google Music, Spotify, Apple Music, etc. you will quickly wish you have more than 32GB.

The other concern I would have is that the Pixel XL isn't very pocket friendly. That is pretty much my criticism of any smartphone with a screen larger than 5.4 inches!!! My current phone has a 5.4" screen (Droid Turbo 2) and that is border line to large for me. and the Pixel XL is larger than my current phone.
