I'm not sure if this is the place for such Questions:
I'm looking at some cheap (but fully functional Microcontrollers) but without the Embedded Flash, is it simpler to and easier to pay the extra $2-3 for Embedded or can I save buy using an External Flash?
External Pros/Cons:
Pros -
Could be cheaper - Cost / MB
Upgradable potential
---------------------------------------------
Cons -
Might require more power
Might Be slower in read and write speeds (I may not know the difference between ms)
Lossing Pins for Storage
Requires connections (some type of board, traces or wiring)
-------------------------------------------
Has anyone come across this issue or pondered this?

I have no experience and don't 'know', but wouldn't it depend on the amount of memory your application needed? If you only need 2 or 3 MB then the built in flash is available, but if you needed something like 256GB then an external USB type memory would be needed. I think you need to provide more details to get a better answer.
