The 512GB with the larger CPU cache in the faster process is the one I chose, which is the one you've highlighted.
The price shows the 512GB unit with the faster CPU and double the video Ram in its GPU, is not so much more expensive than the lower model:
In Australia the difference is 17.4%.
In the USA the difference is 14%
In Doha your deal is 11.4%
So comparing the two models, the larger drive version appears a good buy.
I am not sure about warranty issues though because you might not get them in Norway if you buy in the middle east. Also check whether your Norway customs might hit you with duty.
Don't be worried about obscolence - there will always be a better model coming. For Apple, the touch bar is a necessity until they introduce touch screens. That may never happen though.
And the touch bar is great, if not essential. For video editing the touch bar improves utility a lot. Probably will too with cc, but I don't know for sure.
Be aware that if you use function keys a lot, you have to hit the bottom left fn key to bring up the function keys (they appear on the touch bar). If you take your left finger off the fn key, then the touch bar's function key display disappears. This can annoy some people.
Eye log on will become the norm compared to the finger pad - but the finger pad works just fine.
The unit compared to yours is quite a lot faster, and is quite a lot thinner and lighter. If you've got a matt screen, you might find the screen reflects more. If you do 4K video editing, well, you can do it on the unit you are considering.
The downside on the computer is that some people have had troubles with the keyboard, especially the 2016 models. The mechanism is thinner and the technology different. The 2017 model did revise and toughen the keyboard; it types well for many but some do not like the shallow action, the keys are larger too, IMO the keyboard requires a lighter touch. For some too, the fact the new keyboard makes a noise, wheres your's is silent, can be a big difference.
Another issue is the larger touch pad - some people can hit it while typing, others can hit it while doing things on the notebook. Its worthwhile seeing where you hands lye on the new model, to check that your wrist area does not rest on the keypad. For some this happens and they hate the larger touchpad. For me its not an issue, although I thought it would be unit I tried the keyboard before buying and I looked at where my wrist lay. You need to do that too IMO.
Also IMO you'll have to keep the keyboard clean as bits of dirt or crumbs etc can upset the switches in the keyboard, unlike your keyboard, so vacuuming and cleaning the keyboard is IMO a necessity. That's the only downside IMO, although also, you'll need at least one USB3.1 to USB adapter.
good luck
