Good point.
Knowing Apple though, even if they get the drives at a good price, they aren't likely to pass along much of the savings to the end buyer and would probably still gouge you for the higher sizes. Their current price on a 512gb SSD upgrade on a MBP 15" is almost $1500 extra, I just can't see them making a huge cut in that price, even if they get a sweet deal on them.
