- If you're doing anything taxing, M2/8GB might not make you happy. I had a similar spec MB Air M2/8GB that stunk for work. I used a lot of SaaS apps and did research, so lot's of browser tabs. And Zoom calls would have choppy video. I had to reboot daily to make sure things would keep running smooth. YMMV!
- $500 (if you buy student discount or at Microcenter etc) is 66% more than $300. If spending $300 on a computer is already a lot for you or budgets are tight, the extra $200 is a pretty big deal (and with the Costco warranty, this adds some extra protection without AppleCare). If you already aren't batting an eye at $500, and you want the added value of the new M4 and 16gb, then you're going to lean that way.
Is it right for you? Maybe. I think it's a matter of intended use and financial situation.

I know that's not everyone, but I know that 8GB is no longer good enough. Apple agrees - they've gone to 16GB min for their M4 series.

That said, I just don't care for products which are basically unrepairable or not upgradable. I have the same problem with Apple that I have with most laptops and tablets. I don't want any manufacturer dictating to me what I can do. I have machines here that are 15 years old which work great, I've upgraded them for next to nothing.
My aunt gave me on older Mac laptop, I decided to ditch it. Those products are designed for user ease, they are not designed for educated consumer tinkering.
