Mind, it's not like you can BTO with the desired RAM amount. The Air 5 and 2021 iPad Pro 128-512GB all have 8GB RAM and the 2021 iPad Pro 1-2TB have 16GB RAM.

At least for me, the RAM amount is dictated by required storage. It's not worth spending an extra $700 for the 1TB model when all that's needed is 128GB.
I just remember app developers whining about the 5GB limit that was in place when M1 iPads first shipped. One of them was Procreate (which I have). The version notes include an update which ‘has performance improvements and even more layers for the new M1 iPad Pros’. So I’m guessing this is definitely one app that will use more than 5GB if the device provides it.

With my current usage 512GB would be enough, however I’m planning to do more storage intensive stuff when I get an iPad Pro, so it’s looking like I will want to go with 1TB.
