Best configuration for new mac?

Hi. I am scanning Apple's refurb shop for a new mini. I use Fusion in Windows 7 or 10 with Window-eyes most of my work day. Question: Am I better off getting a 2.7gh processor with a fusion drive and 16 gig of memory, or a 2.3gh processor, 16 gig of memory and an SD drive? Minis only seem to

I think this is another one of those features that has to be supported by the carrier. When I first got my watch, Sprint did not have it, so if the phone was on Wifi calling, the watch would simply not ring at all. If I was away and the phone was on cellular, the watch did ring. Now that Sprint
