Even if you can fit your stuff on the 256GB, I'd be concerned about the longevity of the drive, specifically on those systems with only 8GB of RAM, they'd be paging to and from the drive right from boot up practically. I'm assuming Apple is using TLC flash to keep costs down, with that small a drive and constant paging, I couldn't see it lasting long.
