Just to be clear, I've got both RAM models of pi4 and while the 2gb handles everything I throw at it I haven't actually load tested it and I do wonder if it would be as snappy with a dozen open chromium tabs. It would probably still be fine but I much prefer overspecing and future proofing than saving £20 and regretting it in a year when some new chunky software has come along.
