MacBook Air (15inch) vs MacBook Pro (14inch vs 16inch)
Hi everyone,
I'm currently in the market for a new MacBook and I'm torn between the MacBook Air (15-inch) and the MacBook Pro (14-inch or 16-inch). I would greatly appreciate some guidance and advice in making this decision.
My primary use for the MacBook will be web development, and I may also use Xcode occasionally. From what I've gathered, the MacBook Air seems like a solid option, but I'm also considering upgrading it to 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of memory, which brings it closer in price to the 14-inch MacBook Pro. and when im already spending so much money why not upgrade to the 16inch.......
Which one should I be picking? 
(update to keep topic uptodate)
but for example when i go for the upgraded Air (because i think ill need at least the 16gb of ram an 512gb storage) which will result in a price near the 14inch pro, is it worth price to upgrade to the pro (considering the M2 Pro and the better display?)
In my area i can get the following prices
€ 1886,00 Macbook Air 16gb/512gb
€ 2179,00 Macbook Pro 16gb/512gb (€ 2079,00 Refurbished from Apple)
will the 300 euros be worth the upgrade? 
200 (refurbished)
(im kinda sketched out by refurbished models, or shouldnt i be?)
