New Nexus 7 16 vs 32GB storage performance?

I was thinking about flash performance, since bigger means more (similar to SSD's USB's) and i was thinking how much slower the 16GB would be? here is the idea to compare them from owners of the forum, storage bench, 16 vs 32GB Nexus 7?

Also keep in mind you need to have at least 20% free in order to get max performance from flash based devices, (AFAIK) and the 16GB comes with 14 free when you have nothing on it, and additional - 3.2GB (~20% free) that leaves you with like only 10GB free, so i guess the 32GB version is a must.

so if you guys would like to post some benches it will be very nice to see the difference.
 
I'm actually wondering how much Free storage are on the 16gb, does anyone know? Trying to determine getting 32gb or 16gb
 
Here is the specs of my 32gb nexus 7 (2013) with 23.27 gbs of the 26.11 gbs free (11% user space used, 89% user space free)

Had been lazy and wished to find someone tested, but no luck.

So here is mine, 16GB version, 11.15GB available.

Text only here:

Seq read: 62.95
Seq wrt: 15.13
Rad read: 10.86 2781.5 IOPS
Rad wrt: 1.11 285.58 IOPS
SQL ins: 91.15TPS, 3.29s
SQL upd: 102.28TPS, 2.93s
SQL del: 104.38TPS, 2.87s
Browser: 74.75ms
Market: 262ms
Camera: 260.5ms
Camcorder: 725ms

I would say same level of performance
 
Thanks guys, don't know why i didn't get notification that you guys posted in the thread.

Anyway, 16GB is a bit slower, in some tests, and equal or even better in others.

Also wonder, did you guys turn off everything from background before testing? thanks.
