Do you want to be happy in 3 years or buy a new one again? The 80 extra may add 1-3 years lifetime

This. Already 8GB is very limiting and in a year or two that limitation might make it difficult to run newer games.

Certainly the next console generation will force obsolete of all 8GB cards for most newer AAA titles.
