You don't get the extra .25GB.
I'd recommend getting it done by Korg despite the added cost, there have been lots of people who ended up with unstable performance over the years through DIY. I've built all of my last desktops but still had Korg do my Kronos.

the key is to buy quality RAM. Even I did a DIY. I also did the RAM upgrade for 3 friends a few yrs ago.

I am adverse to DIY's in general, but the extra ( not cheap brands) RAM was fairly simple to find /install IMO

I'm not sure "quality" is the only answer. Korg only supplies what they have tested extensively with the Kronos, and will cover you if there is a problem. Some folks get past boot but get mild instability. I agree it's really easy to install a stick of RAM. But with a machine like the Kronos, especially if you use it live, I really would rather not run any risk like that. YMMV of course.
