What is the cost difference between the 16gb or 32gb?

$600 AUD where I live (~$420 USD)
Given that I just built a desktop Windows PC and the whole 32GB RAM was < $300, it's a lot : )

Yikes. That is a lot.

Someone made a point the other day that since you cannot upgrade RAM after the after with the newer Macbooks, putting the money in now, for more RAM will give you a long life with that machine.
