So an extra £500 does seem steep to get the 500gb SSD. How do people out there with Airs cope with the limited space? Especially those that use the Air as their primary machine?

If I want desktop space, I have a monitor. I'm also a bit hesitant to drop £1800 on a machine where you can't even upgrade the RAM - it's less of an issue for £900.
