The difference in price between the CM4 8GB and the CM4 16GB is about $6 in my part of the world. The vast majority of CM4 devices I worked on (in the 1000s) were 8GB. We only sold a small percentage of 16GB and 32GB models during the shortage when we couldn't get any 8GB models.
For my latest project I am using Buildroot and Yocto to make an OS image that is less than 1GB in size, so 8GB is actually overkill. If we could bring the price down even further, we'd prefer an even smaller eMMC capacity. The CM5's boot time is very attractive, so my clients and I would prefer to buy as cheap of a CM5 as possible, or we may just continue to use the CM4.
