iPhone X - 64gb or 256gb?

I'm still unsure about if I will go for the X cause I've preordered an 8 Plus which is a 256GB model but trying to decide whether to cancel or not. Either way, I currently use about 40GB on my 128GB iPhone 7 although 8GB is downloaded music which I rarely listen to aside from traveling longish distances, so could delete that and then only be using about 32GB. This makes me think 64GB on the X since it's expensive enough and I'd rather not pay any more than ~ £56 per month for the X. And with the 50% reduction in storage needed for photos and videos I reckon I'd manage aside from maybe recording 4K 60fps video. Don't tend to take many videos though.
256gb no question. Currently got 106gb of 256gb left. And with at least 2 overseas trips within the next year where I'll take lots of pics & videos, I'll probably be hoping for bigger storage options this time next year.
Just because it's only $150 difference for 4 times more space just seem like a no brainer to me. My MacBook is 256 gb a well 
I opted for 256GB, even though I have a iPhone plus 128 GB (with 35 GB left). I may start shooting some 4K video and want to make sure I have enough storage. I also like to keep my Seinfeld Series on the phone, as well as King of Queens, and music and pictures. I don't want to have to worry about space all the time.
256. It will be massive overkill for me but based on my current usage and predicting future usage 64GB might get full if I keep the phone for as long as I intend to. 128 probably would have been perfect, but when you think about it, given how much the phone already costs, the price difference that gets you 4 times the storage actually seems reasonable.
I think the reason there are only 64GB and 256GB versions is that Apple figured that people would go for the more expensive option. I suspect that the 65GB iPhone X will be less popular and maybe ship more quickly, but it's all relative—both will probably be very hard to get before 2018.
