I did read about the keyboards - do they really affect things that much?
There is another option on the refurb store of a 128 ssd and 16gb of ram, perhaps thats the one to go for?

Well, thousands of people happily use them every day, so they can't be that awful. If you're lucky you'll have no issues, or intermittent issues that clear themselves. If you're unlucky you'll have keys that become unusable requiring multiple full top case replacements. It's a bit of a lottery. All of them very short key travel though. Try one in a shop before buying.

The second one also has 512 vs 128 GB SSD. If you’re planning to store a lot of photos locally.
All current MacBooks bar the new 16 inch have questionable keyboards (google “butterfly keyboard”). Although it’s going to be a year or two before you can get a refurb MBA with anything different.
