It really depends on all you plan to do with your laptop. Obviously, the base MBP 16 is far superior than the Air and a better bargain if they're the same price.
The Air is 1.2 lbs lighter, which is the equivalent of a 12.9” iPad Pro (without case). If you will be traveling a lot and don’t need the extra power, RAM, or SSD the Air may be the better choice. If you are using it mostly on a desk and not traveling, the 16” Pro has a better screen and more base RAM and SSD.
