It is easy to upgrade the Macbook Pro with a 1Tb SSD, but not to do that on short notice (parts need to be ordered).

 

True. But, AFAIK: the cost of the replacement 1TB is more or less the same money you save by ordering a model with a less capable SSD. And, most important, you invalidate the warranty... I did in the past with my oldest model, but it's not something I'd like to do nowadays at day 1, with my previous experience of broken things...

 

It is an interesting option that can be considered in future, when the warranty will be over, in case 2TB replacements appear.

 

Anyway, after several hours of disk restore, I'm with the new MBP. This morning I'm going to calibrate/profile the display and then I should be fine...
