This specific spec is odd though. This is the base M5, which is fine, with one upgrade. But for the cost of one upgrade you'd benefit more from 16 to 24 Gb of RAM instead of 512 to 1 Tb of storage, simplify because many tasks that benefit from the additional storage also need RAM (e.g. Video work, gaming, local LLMs).
Off the top of my best usage would be photographer. Lightroom/Photoshop work great on 16 Gb and raw files can be huge. But a lot of photographers also do video work and while of course you can trivially do it on 16 Gb, scrubbing may benefit from a resolution reduction to avoid swap/lag.
I guess my point is: consider your goals and exact needs.
Was able to pick up an open Box M4 MacBook Pro 16GB/512GB for $1030 from Microcenter.
To me, absolutely no difference between my two weeks of testing both. Literally a carbon copy. Unless you're marrying some local AI model, you'll probably not be able to justify the price difference.
