For those of you students, rather than ordering the 2.6/512/8 base model at $2599, ordering the 2.3/256 and upgrading to the 2.6/512 comes out to be a bit cheaper.

In fact if you added the 16GB RAM you're looking at $2719 vs $2779.

Good info. Looks like they removed the option to do this now though. Maybe it'll return after they remove the discrepancy.

FYI, still available for me and can be added to the cart.
 
Just a little detail I noticed. The US Apple store has "Add" or "Subtract" next to the price difference in square brackets, whereas the UK store uses + and - :p

That's only because you cached the website before they took it down. Any new visitors to the store won't be able to upgrade. There was a 2-3 minute window when this glitch occurred. Unless you got in then, no dice.
 
Emptied cache, restarted, wait 30 mins too. Still available. I'm sure they'll have it down soon I guess, but for now I can go through the whole process start to finish.
