24 GB/1TB is $50 less than Apple education, but if you don't need the large drive but want the increased memory, Apple Ed for 24 GB / 512 GB is $1399 (if you qualify). External storage is cheap, internal memory is forever.

Same here. That's the exact config I want, but looks like I will have to step up to 1TB if I don't want to buy from Apple.
