Can't you upgrade urself the ram in the new mbp? If that's the case, buy the cheaper ram, but with better storage

No, they're usually non-upgradable. You have to decide when you buy how much RAM to get.

Ram, disk and battery are all soldered to the motherboard on all current, and probably future mac books. The only way to 'upgrade' them is to buy a new system.

Oh f.....what about getting one which you can upgrade then? Cause its a nonsense the cost for more RAM.
I use a mini 2012 with 8gb ram, I don't do graphic design, but I use emulators for mobile, I barely run 3 iOs + Android on the same time, so....I would say 16 must be fine?
