Part of the answer to this question is your preference. I also can't tell you whether or not a BMW or Mercedes is worth it either. However, I don't know your usage cases, I don't know how much time you expect to use this machine, I don't know what types of machines you prefer, and the list goes on. I realize this is counter to your question. Item two, it's really up to you whether something is worth it or not.
If you are paranoid, get it, because as has been mentioned, it's soldered in. If you've needed 8GB in the past over 4GB then get the 8. If you understand PC hardware, you understand Mac hardware.
Bare minimum I would get would be a 2.4 / 8 / 128, but 128 is really not much to work with. I'd look at the 2.4 / 8 / 256 model or possibly the 2.6 / 8 / 256 or 512 model. I also previously owned a 2012 Macbook Air 13" and I do occasionally miss how light it was, and really the only benefit for the 13" rMBP is the screen and connectivity. I'm thinking (at least the rumors point to) a release of a retina Macbook air in 6-8 months, which would make sense as the 13" rMBP is sandwiched between the much more powerful 15" rMBP and the more portable and cheaper 13" Macbook air. Still, the Macbook Air is a bit cheaper and will give you ~6 hours more battery life for light usage, and the 15 rMBP has the option for dedicated graphics and has a quad core processor along with more screen real estate. My roommates computer does seem slightly faster (probably do to Iris and Pci-e SSD). The retina screen is great and I don't regret buying my computer in the slightest. I think the late 2013 model is a fantastic machine and really was what the 2012 should have been (slightly thinner, slightly lighter, 3-4 hours more battery life, etc.).
