> We're not going to be migrating terabytes of data

You may have dramatically less 'real data' than mongo makes you think you do. I migrated one of our mid sized database out of mongo and into PG a couple years ago. The reduction in size was massive. One table in particular that was storing a small number of numeric fields per doc went from ~10GB to ~50MB. I wouldn't expect this with all datasets of course, but mongo's document + key storage overhead can be massive in some use cases.
