Can you give me some more background on your decision to go to 1TB? I am deciding now between 512 and 1 TB for the new 2016 TB, and am finding the 3k price a little hard to swallow. My friend tells me not to spend the money, but I don't want to be stuck out of space in 2 years.
I had a Late 2013 15" with 512GB and while it was pretty much fine, I work in fast-paced documentary style video production and photography on the road with pop music artists, so there were a lot of occasions where I needed to simply dump footage straight to the SSD and bang out a quick edit, or just generally needed to store more stuff like large photoshop documents, commonly used media that I'd need for most projects, and my small Windows partition for a couple games on the go. For me, if I can squeeze by on smaller edits by just dumping all the media straight to the new 2016, editing, and then offloading it all to an external HDD after, it's preferable since the turnaround time is usually instant. The speed of the SSD makes cards dump faster and reduces stutter caused by trying to edit 4K off of a spinning disk external.
With the 1TB, I've got myself a 240GB Windows partition to play Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Spintires, and a few other games with about 50GB free here. Then I've got MacOS, all the Adobe CC software, FCPX, Logic, and an army of fonts, graphics, alpha channel grain and flare, etc and I've still got 450GB free for on-demand small projects like I was mentioning above. It's just a lot more comfortable knowing I've got this space for the next three or so years, whereas last time I was constantly shuffling things back and forth to keep my free space above 10GB on the 512, plus I could only fit a 100GB Boot Camp partition previously.
You'll likely be totally alright with 512GB, and I felt like I could have done it again, but I've been craving that extra space to breathe for about a year now on my older model.
