M5 24gb or M4 Pro 24gb for Lightroom?

I’m torn regarding which laptop to get as a gift for my wife, who is doing family photography as a growing side business.

MacBook Pro M5 24gb with 1tb ($100 more expensive) or MacBook Pro M4 Pro Chip 24gb with 512gb

She mainly uses Lightroom, including its AI features. We edit 24MP photos. We will likely upgrade to a bigger sensor in the future. We may also dabble with photoshop more in the future.

I’m looking for something that is future proof too that we will keep for many years.

I think 512gb of storage is fine since we have SSD and cloud for storage.

Gemini says M4 Pro is better for us, while ChatGPT says M5 is better. The ArtIsRight YouTuber hasn’t evaluated the M5 at 24gb yet (only the 16gb).

Any help would be appreciated.
