You don't sound like a broken record, companies telling us "no" all the time sound like a broken record. I already own a 32gb microsd card, and an 8gb tablet w/ a slot would be perfect for me. I guarantee you that the extra 8gb for the 16gb version did not increase their costs by $50, or even $50 minus a normal profit margin.
IHS iSuppli estimates $8 additional cost for the 16gb. Part of their monetization model appears to make 16gb buyers subsidize 8GB buyers.
