I agree 100%. I have a 16GB model and currently have 220 apps installed and 6GB left of unused space. Keeping things in the cloud really opens up room on your device.
Currently I have Dropbox, Skydrive, Google Drive, Copy.com apps installed on my Nexus. This currently provides me access to approximately 350GB of free cloud storage.
The only cloud storage option here that is problematic is Google drive. If you max out Google drive's space sending and receiving emails could stop if not addressed quickly. Additionally the way Google drive handles file revisions causes Calibre's ebook library to die.
The cloud storage option I've been experimenting with over the last 2 months is Copy.com (see my signature). I have my photos and screenshots automatically uploaded to the cloud. I have also been storing my calibre ebook library in this cloud space and using this service to sync between my work computer and my home computer. So far this service works fine.
On another topic I use PlayOn media server on my home PC so I can stream any of my local media (movies / TV / music) to my Nexus 7 via any wifi. Also I can stream video from multiple web sites like Netflix or Huluplus and radio and music from cloud apps. Even the photo site Flickr now allows you 1TB of storage for your photos free and a great app to use with the site.
Bottom line is 16GB is a lot more space than one might think given all of the cloud options around.
