For reference, I have a maxed 2018 mini I've upgraded twice -> 32GB then to 64GB.

Amazon price for 2x32gb modules is lower than it ever has been as of today ($218.58) [1] and I have had no problem making full use of that memory in MacOS. [2]

A bit more: I also run the blackmagic rx580 egpu to the XDR pro display. The system outperforms the current entry Mac Pro in geekbench 5.

So I def have eyes on the new mini. My suspicion is the rx580 will still provide 2x or more graphical power than any of these machines.
