I'm terrible in making decisions...

I'm a photographer and also do some video. I use Photoshop, Lightroom (mostly 45MP photos), Final Cut (4k videos until now).
So these are the configs I'm looking at:
M1 Max Chip mit 10‑Core, 64GB, 2TB, 32‑Core GPU
M1 Max Chip mit 10‑Core, 32GB, 4TB, 32‑Core GPU

It's either more RAM or more SSD... I doubt that I'm gonna need 64GB RAM, but more RAM is always nice and it's unified RAM... On the other hand I think 32GB RAM should be enough... And a bigger SSD is always nice, I could keep all the current projects on my MacBook and archive them to external drives once I'm finished.

Please help me decide :D

I haven't seen a good comparison between 32GB and 64GB on the new MacBooks, so that's why I'm having such a hard time to decide.
