Upgrade MBA to 256GB or purchase external HD?

I went with the 128 GB because I am using less then 100 on my iMac. I do not down load any movies but I do have about 30 family iMovies I have made and over 2,000 family photos.

How long before we see Thunderbolt SSD micro sticks Just think, maybe in a short time you can add 128 GB, the size of a nickel and just as fast as the stock SSD. That would be AWESOME!

from your words to God's (Steve Job's) ears.

Thursday is the last day I can exchange, and I am confident in sticking with my 128GB. I am comforted by the fact I can purchase an SSD online and upgrade on my own.. My only question with that, if anyone can answer, wouldn't that void the apple warranty/applecare? Would they know if I did do it? Would they care?

I have become very good with memory management over the last year or so. That said, I hover at about 180. Somewhere right in the middle of the 128 and the 256.

So yeah, getting the 256 is the way to go, imo.
