“Is there any real notable difference between the 6gb of RAM versus 8gb? I would prefer 8gb but really don't need that storage space considering the price jump. Use will be just casual at home, nothing special.”

RAM memory isn't storage. Think of it as the faucet in your bath tub. Do you want the faucet/spout to be as small as a drinking straw and thus take that much longer to fill the tub? Or would you want a larger spout which will fill your bathtub faster with hot water so you can enjoy your hot bath in more timely fashion? At least not in how you might think it means. RAM is temporary memory. The more RAM you have, the smoother and more reliable the processor will work when multitasking: watching a Youtube video while playing a video game at the same time. Your tablet will be sluggish if you're playing more complicated game than say Solitaire as the RAM is processing/holding the basic operating system as well as the necessary bits of software used by the game. Considering you cannot upgrade tablets, it's better to get the version with the higher amount of RAM to help you future proof your device and allow you to keep it longer when programs get larger and more complicated with time. "RAM is the main place for storing instructions and data whilst a program is being executed . It is also called main memory. Program data is copied into RAM before the CPU can run the program."
