I'm using Pro Tools 12.

Apple wanted $360 to upgrade from the 512gb ssd to 1tb. I considered it but that's more money than I've paid for a 1tb Samsung 850 Evo. I can't see spending $360 for another 512gb of storage. I knew I was adding the extra bays for additional hard drives and I figure the 512 will do if I'm judicious about what I put on it.
If it were me and I had the space in my studio I would use both screens and split the edit mixer windows to their own individual screens

I can't imagine you will be using even 1/2 of a 512 GB boot drive if you are storing the PT sessions on an external unless you are running a number of wild applications ?

For example: I am running PTHDN 12.8.1 --Reason 8.3 -- Final Cut Pro X 10.3.4 Apple Compressor and Motion for FCPX --V Control Pro --- iLOK Licence Manager plus all the Apps that come with Sierra, and Google Chrome . As well as Waves ,Slate Digital, and Sonivox and Air Music Technologies apps folders
And have used 105.73 GB of the 512


So I am assuming it is shipping with High Sierra, PT is not yet qualified but people are reporting it working over on the DUC
You might want to check if your UAD will work with HS also
