iPod Touch 5th gen 16gb or 32gb?

I want to get the iPod touch 5th gen but dont know which size I should get. I can get a new 16gb from BestBuy for $189 and a refurb 32gb from the Apple store for $199.

Right now I'm using my mom's *old* iphone 3gs as an iPod. And it seems to have died for good. It was 8gb and I had filled like 6-7 with music/pics/3-4 apps (insta, snapchat,whatsapp-no games). Oddly, my music (535 songs) takes up just 2.5ish gb. But I plan on putting more on my new one.

On the new one I plan on having music, some apps, maybe some games, and pictures.

Also, I'm kinda tight on time cause I used the 3gs as my main form of communicationw ith friends (iMessage) and have limited texting on my normal "dumbphone" And I have a group project going on right now....

So...... Should I just go and get the 16gb from the store or somehow try to stick it out until the 32gb ships? Also, would the 16gb

be sufficient for my usage, do you think?

I just kinda feel weird giving up something that's twice as big, but just $14 more expensive, I guess.

    From another perspective I have an 4th gen ipod 8GB and i would go with the 16GB. If I ever get low on storage i just backup on my computer and delete the apps I havn't used in 6 months and the old photos that I won't need. It depends on how your using the ipod if your into sim games especially racing games than the 32gb is better. Lastly because its only $14 you should get the 32gb. i wouln't because i'm the 1 in 1000 who don't need it but for only 14 more and not 50 plus more thats a good deal

    trust me get a 32GB model. I had the 16gb iPod touch 4 and i would have to delete photos and apps about once a month and i would always get the Not enough space warning. Plus it's only $14 more for something that will go a long way in the near future. Also secondhand models are usually in very good condition (my friend got someones boxed opened once 3DS at gamestop for the same price as a second hand one it was never used!)

    Ipod Touch 32gb. Trust me, you will run out of space and you'll need that extra. Plus, it's only 250 now at the apple store, and taxes are cheaper. At best buy, or walmart, taxes will be much higher.
