Cant seem to decide if I am better off with the extra memory or the cpu power.
 
Both are very capable CPUs so if you know you use something that uses over 16GB of ram get the 24GB M2.

That said I would say in the vast majority of use cases more than 16GB of memory isn't needed, so more CPU cores and higher memory bandwidth would speed things up a bit.

I went for the M2 Pro with 16GB of RAM!

Same I had ordered 24gb M2 but realized I need 3 displays so I went with 16GB M2 Pro.
