It really is, 16GB of 1600mhz ddr3 ram can be bought for <£120 yet with apple it costs £160 and that's not taking into account you're removing the 8GB.
I don't like feeling like I'm being ripped off so I couldn't justify it.
JD 100% no.
If you're balling, sure, but it's totally not necessary, the point is that it can't be upgraded any more, so it's best to go with the highest amount you can afford. I went for 8gb, as the price of the ram pissed me off. If it was £50 I'd have done it, there was no way I was paying...

Any different and it screams "PLEASE LOOK AT MY AMG, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! I'M SO DESPERATE TO BE NOTICED, PLEASE"
It does sound like an old derv when it's knackard but I think you'll find if you have a proper search, both Danny and Fred state they've never actually seen one fail as such.
My advice would be to bung your MBP on eBay right now, 24hr auction, label it as broken, for spares and repairs, then add that to the £500 you want to spend.
That'll get you a decent second hand MBP in my experience.
I just sold my old one for £500 on the nose (through here):
It was a mid...
