Which upgrades should I go with for M2 Air (alien.top)

So I can choose any two of the three -

Upgrade to 15 inch (+240 USD)
Upgrade to 512 GB SSD (+240 USD)
Upgrade to 16 GB RAM (+240 USD)

I really like the bigger display of 15 inches as Im not used to smaller screens and the m1 air 13 inch i have just feels too small at times.

But for the performance, is it better to upgrade RAM and SSD of 13 inch rather than switch to 15 and upgrade just RAM or just SSD.

Also upgrading the ssd is cheaper in some cases by 100 usd due to offers but 16GB ram upgrade is always 240 usd which is a lot.

I will mainly use it as my daily machine for college work, coding(data science and ai/ml stuff), little bit of image and video editing, etc.

Any suggestions?

The store currently shows $200 for ram and SSD upgrades. $180 if you go through the education store. I would do 2-3 but that is just me. I really like the form factor of the 13” and find I value its portability more than screen size. YMMV

In India the upgrades are more expensive actually.
