Which MacBook should I get with a budget of $400-500?

Hello, so I have a bit of a story. Last summer, I Hackintoshed my PC for a few reasons, the main reason being that I wanted to build Unity games for iOS and macOS. I ended up mostly liking macOS, so much so that I’m considering buying myself a MacBook to use as a gamedev/programming machine. I have a budget of $350-500, but would prefer spending ~$400. The two most popular options seem to be a 2019 16” MacBook Pro and an M1 MacBook Air. The problem with the Pro is that it’s an Intel machine, but a good thing about it is that it has 32Gb of ram and 512Gb of storage, while the problem with the Air is that it has only 8Gb of ram, but a faster single-core speed and will likely last longer due to being Apple Silicon. Which one would you buy in this case? I’m leaning towards the Pro because it has 4x the ram and more storage, and the CPU is fast, but worry it will lose OS update support soon.
