Is it better to have an M4-M5 Pro with 32GB of ram or an M1-M2 Max with 64GB of ram? They seem about the same price.

It seems like cache layers like https://omlx.ai make more RAM better than more GPU cores or faster CPUs cores, but I'm curious if someone has tested both.

When I was considering a local setup the M1 Ultra Studios with 128 GB of RAM seemed to be the best price:performance at the time. I think RAM always wins out.

Also minor note: the M4/5 Pros come in multiples of 12, so it's a 24/36 or 48GB set up.
