I don't know that that was always the plan. Seems weird to me.
(Maybe it was always intended for the Air, and they needed it on the Pro first because the 2018 Pro design wasn't ready?)

Hmm.

I hear you on needing something. I'm definitely stretching this one… first because there was no 32 GB RAM option (until mid last year), but also still because of the keyboard.
I also get that my needs are… hardly mainstream. But for me, it would only be a few hundred dollars worth of difference anyway:
- I can either start out with the $2,399 and add $400 for the RAM and $200 for the storage, for a total of $2,999.
- Or with the $2,799 which already includes the storage, but not the RAM (and basically adds a slightly nicer CPU and GPU, which actually isn't that bad a deal for $200). So, $3,199.
- It's easy to imagine a $3,299 16-inch configuration on top of that, and for that to already include both the storage and the RAM. At that point, I'd only spend another $100 more.
What's yet another $100 for a better keyboard, bigger screen, snappier™ everything? In the grand scheme of f-it-I'm-going-all-in things, basically nothing.
Of course, if you start out with a 14-inch, that's a different ballgame — you might "even" get away with below $2k.
