Developer here. Completely depends on your workflow.
I went base model and the only thing I regret is not getting more RAM.
Speeds have been phenomenal when there binaries are native. Speeds have been good when the binaries are running through Rosetta.
The specs you’re wavering between are extremely workflow specific. You know if your workflow requires the 16 extra GPU cores. You know if your workflow requires another 64 GB of RAM.
What use case would you need more than 32gb RAM?
My M2 Max MBP with 64GB RAM can have a decent chunk of apps open while handling 1500 open browser tabs in about 50GB of RAM with no swap. As an example. Used quite a bit of swap on my M1 16GB previously.
