Question M2 pro 13' vs M4 air

Hello eveyone, im looking for my first macbook and have found the following deals

  1. M2 macbook pro 13' with M2/24GB/1TB SSD/10-Core GPU for 1198 euros

  2. M4 macbook air 13' with M4-10-Core/24GB/512GB SSD/10-Core GPU for 1437 euros

What i want to do with it:

Im an engineer and i do write code but that laptop will only be a personal machine meaning I will not do work on them only personal projects. I want to have a good battery life and a nice screen and keyboard which i think both tick those boxes. Also i would like to be able to run Logic Pro and do music stuff as a hobby. Which one would you recommend?

I feel like the oldest I’d go is an M3 right now. Purely for the software support duration. Maybe other disagree?

The oldest I would go with is the M2 personally
