Probably 1TB is a good long-term option for video creation so you can have a couple of projects on the go and then archive finished projects and assets onto external storage. I would also say go with the 8CPU/8GPU config to keep your price down a bit to pay for the RAM. Just my 2 cents. Aloha.

Be honest, you didn't compare M1 and M2 with identical specs, did you? I guess M1 with 8GB, 8-Core CPU as well as GPU and 256 SSD, cause you mentioned " ... we have the M1 with the base ... " but no word whether it's also the base for the M2. So do we also have 8 Gigs and 256 SSD there or the 8-Core CPU, 10-Core GPU and 512 SSD? Otherwise the difference in performance would more than surprise me and also the 35W-charger is a hint for the better one.

The only Apple product I buy every few years is the iPhone. I currently have the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I think it's cool that now the MacBook Air uses the newer M2 chip. I'm wondering when the iPhone will use the M chip, use USB-C, have Mini LED display, TouchID on the power buttons, etc. They already do those things on their iPad and computers. It's weird they don't do so on the iPhones. They should at least do it with the Pro versions.
