I'd spend the extra $20. Otherwise, you're just throwing away a gear (the 32T) if you'll never use it.
I agree. To me, the gearing that you want is the biggie.
A year from now you won't be able to remember how you spent the $20.00 that you saved but you'll still be living with the cassette. Make sure it has the gears that you like.
