If I could make sure I didn't get the HDD in the 18,1 (Fusion drive maybe OK), I'd go for that one.

Very good point. Thanks!

How and I determine what drive is in the 18,1? Will Disk Utility show that info?
Yes it should but System Information (About This Mac -- System Report) will definitely tell you in the SATA/SATA Express and NVMExpress sections. You should see the physical devices, the HDD and hopefully SSD in there.
