   Hi Aaron!

   Sure ... if you do not need the added RAM, then why pay more :)   
      
   I actually also do not need it, but I nearly went one tear higher, as it is   
   nice to have :) and having 320 GB SSD would have been nice.   
      
   My previous product (same company) cost 1 EUR less and had double the storage.   
   (2 Xeon cores, 6 GB RAM, 320 GB SATA)   
   The difference is SATA (mechanical disk) vs. SSD (Flash).   
   It is 10 times faster now, but sadly only half as large :)
