I did the same a few weeks ago (https://blog.notmyhostna.me/posts/ssd-upgrade-for-mac-mini-m...), usually I’m far into the “just pay for convenience” camp but this was so easy to do and the price difference was just too big.

Saving $500 for 30 min of actual work that’s also easily reversible if needed for a support case is too good to ignore.
