Can you pay up for the standard model?
It’s usually a mistake to purchase an irregular version of a product because it fits your needs and is cheaper.
The future is more variable than it seems and there’s a reason why the nonstandard model is not standard.

For example:
- “I’m going to buy this one green car because the color doesn’t bother me and I just need to get to work.” This backfires when you need to sell the car because the family needs a minivan or when you forget that you’ll be using that car to pick up dates.
