M1 Pro 32GB RAM vs. M1 Max 32GB RAM

Maybe I am searching the wrong thing, but I was wondering if the 32GB RAM speed is the same on both the M1 Pro and M1 Max chip. I know the M1 Pro claims 'up to 200Gbps' and M1 Max claims 'up to 400Gbps'. However, I was not able to find any specs on each level, i.e., do they eqate to the following -- 16GB = 100Mbps, 32GB = 200Mbps, and 64GB = 400Mbps? Or are they the max speeds of each chip, no matter what RAM size you choose?

I currently have a 14" 10/16/16GB/1TB configuration in Space Gray (which I have regretted getting since shortly after my return window). I should have went with Silver and 32GB but the store only had Space Gray with the 1TB drive.

I am considering selling it and getting on with 32GB RAM in silver (I prefer the classic look). But I am not sure if the slight difference in cost is worth the price increase or not for the M1 Pro (10/16/32GB/1TB) versus the binned M1 Max (10/24/32GB/1TB).

BTW, although my memory pressure stays in the green, I am almost always at 14-15GB used RAM and 5-8GB swap. I really only use Safari or Chrome, mail, messages, O365 apps, Lightroom CC, and VMWare Horizon Client (to access my remote desktop for work).

I think I have watched every YouTube video and skimmed every article on the Internet regarding the memory comparisons, but no one has mentioned the speed of 32GB Pro versus Max.
