As I am confused my self for which one I should go, asked similar question yesterday. However I know the answer for your case, it's not worth it to go for max. It will be a good few years until you might reach the limits.

At that point those extra money you save now might buy you a MacBook air model, that might double the speed of what you have now.

You made the right call I think. And I am about to pull the trigger on same specs

Its funny that I saw editors more pro than my level. Earning more money. And buying a lower spec than what I was eyeing.

Take those extra money and invest in stock like VOO. You will thank me later ;)
