I didn't expect the 8GB version before the end of this year.
So I've ordered the 128GB/4GB version instead, to have it "now".
But now I've ended up with both, the 256GB/8GB 6 weeks ahead of schedule...

The 3DMark, the only Benchmark I have from the Store shows:
256GB/8GB 10% faster than the 128GB/4GB and this another 10% faster than the Gen1 128GB/4GB.
I would have expected more from the 8GB. But we'll see...
I'll use the 256GB version for data-intensive stuff, for example my dozens of GB of Zinio magazines.
I'll use the 128GB version more productively.
And I'll keep my 128GB Gen1 purely for the fun stuff...
