Same. My wife and I would both not hesitate to order the 256gb version. I have 128+256 in my Note 9 currently. Without expansion I definitely would want 256gb. (Or maybe even 512) 

 

The promotion states "up to $900 off on the Pixel 6 Pro with a trade in" kind of implies that there is going to be (or was supposed to be) different versions. The 128gb version is 899 and the statement makes sense if they would offer more expensive versions.

 

usually the trade in value saying “up to” depends on what you are trying to turn in trade in wise and in what kind of condition it’s in.

I learned the other reason they are presenting it this way is because the way the credits will apply.  I was surprised to be asked for a down payment with perfect credit on a phone that will end up being free.

On promo offers more than $750, they have the customer cover the difference if the customer has been with T-Mobile less than 4 years.  So in cases like mine, a customer of 1 year and perfect credit, I pay some up front, and then the 900 in credits will apply over the time so for a period of time, I will have credits of a few dollars more than the phone equipment agreement (net effect if -$6 a month against my account) and then for a few months at the end, the full credit value will be applied without anything left on the notional equipment agreement (net effect -$37) for the last 5 or so months.

This is one of the reasons you see the difference in terminology for the offer.  Pixel 6 is within that $750 envelope.  Pixel 6 Pro is beyond it.

Depending on your credit and time with T-Mobile, you may still be surprised to be asked for $150 plus tax on a phone that should be “free” after credits.
