I'm trying to find a reason to convince myself to fork out the extra money for the Touch Bar.

Well if you want to develop apps with touch bar functionality then I'd imagine it will be essential. You'll also have to check out and see if there are any Xcode updates due that use it if you are an iOS developer.
