IMO, including the "accessories" does not make any sense unless you are mainly trying to talk yourself into getting the more expensive option.

One question the OP should ask himself is whether he really needs 8 GB of internal SSD storage.

The first upgrade step (from 512 GB to 1 TB) gets you double the internal SSD space, and only costs $250 CDN.  But going from 512 GB to 8 TB costs $3000 CDN.  If you're going to fill a lot of those 8 TB with files that don't really need the speed of the internal SSD, there are a lot of cheaper options.

Once you trim the internal SSD size down to 1 or 2 TB, I suspect there will be more than a 28% price difference between the 64 GB Max and the 128 GB Ultra.
