Show me links to a good brand of RAM that is only $20-$30 more than the 8GB versions. Not a cheapie brand.
Go look on newegg or tigerdirect or any other US big brand tech/pc site. It's not hard to find one.
Majority of what I've seen is almost 100% of the price which results in paying about $80-$100 for 16GB Packs of RAM. Account for the loss of performance and an unneeded extra $45 that could come from an extra 8GB of RAM that isn't needed at all. This wasted $45 could go to something much more useful such as peripherals, a higher tiered version of the 670/680, or just plain saving money. There is no need to waste money on something that has no use.
