Thank you for your answer. I wonder, what are your assumptions regarding these two questions:

1) Will the 16GB RAM variants feel faster than the 8GB RAM models? Will there be a difference in 'day to day' operation, and will it just feel snappier?

2) What about a larger SSD necessitates double the RAM?

1) They might not. Back in 2018 when they did a similar thing, the larger RAM variants were slightly slower. [1]

2) Not a direct answer, but from memory Apple caculated (in 2018) that moving up to the 1TB required an extra half gig of RAM over the 512GB version. The end qty of the RAM was a function of the size of RAM modules.
