Does nobody use iTunes match? Especially with the new ios6 which allows streaming of your entire iTunes library. Especially if your only concern is music storage.

I would much rather pay $100 to have more storage and have all of my music ON my device. This eliminates the need to wait for streaming, worrying about cell coverage, and using additional bandwidth on our stretched as it is data caps.
 
I've had ~9GB of music on my 16GB phone for the past three years and it's been no trouble. I have never been constrained for space. I could easily pare it down to 1/4 that if needed. I currently have 2.5GB free space on the phone.

I have about 40GB of music on my MacBook, so even the 32GB model wouldn't hold it all. I don't need all of it at all times, anyway. 32GB would be nice to have, I suppose, so I could fit even more music on the phone, but for an extra $100, I'll pass.
