need some opinion from pros here, I am an project planner, so I cannot decide between this

macbook air M1 with 16GB 256gb ssd

or

macbook air M2 with 8GB 256gb ssd


my usage is alot on portability and i regularly needing to open illustrator to review the project work. Sometimes the PDF with lots of layer to open the architecture floor plans. Do we still choose the macbooks with high ram now or actually 8GB is sufficient? Also sometimes need to open adobe premier to review the videos created for the building promotional video.
