I'm currently running a Pi2, which has a BME280 (via a hat) and a SSD

rummage online doesn't seem to fully answer my questions.

If you're buying the Pi4 then why not go for a Pi5, there's very
little difference in the price.

Pi Hut:-
      4Gb Pi 5 - £58.50
     4Gb Pi 4 - £55.00
     1Gb Pi 4 - £35.00
 You can't get a 1Gb Pi 5, until recently you couldn't get a 1Gb Pi 4.
If I was buying a Pi 4 now I wouldn't go for a 1Gb one.
 

I did. Running  _headless_ it is more than enough.
$ free -m
                total        used        free      shared  buff/cache available
Mem:             907         257         297           3         418      650

I sometimes run short of CPU, but never RAM
