Unless you do heavy heavy graphics work or have graphic intense games, I don't think you will see a difference. I just got the one with 256MB and it handles photo work just fine. Also if you are getting 4gb of ram, you should be fine.

Then I would probably get 4GB of ram on the latter one. Two might be a little weak.
