Question i9 13900KF vs i9 14900KF under these circumstances?

[Semi Clueless]

I apologize if this is already a thoroughly beaten topic. I'm kind of down to the wire for time today to make a decision and decided I would get some additional opinions from Tom's community if I can, quickly.

Very long story short, which will also exclude some context, I need to perform a return exchange in a retail store today of a prebuilt(purchased open box, ended up being defective) and I'm torn between a couple options to exchange for.

One desktop has a 13900KF + 64GB RAM and the other is 14900KF + 32GB RAM. Both as spec'd out the same for all other components, aside from the power supply which I know is kind of a coinflip with these prebuilts.

From what I can see online it seems like the difference between the two i9s is very very very small. Also worth noting I'd get like $20-30 refunded back to my card if I went with the 13900KF system. Under these exact conditions, which would you go with?

How much are you likely to value 64gb vs. 32gb?

To be fair, likely not an incredible amount. With work I do run a lot of virtual machines simultaneously, but I've never had issues that I'm aware of with 32GB over the last couple years

With a high level of multitasking, Pick the 64gb option.
The difference between 13900K and 14900K is negligible.
I don't like the F option, but I guess that is not part of the possibilities.

Thank you. I ended up going with the 13900KF. I can't imagine in the next 2-3 years needing the small amount of extra processing power, but my workload does sometimes require more VMs and that has potential to expand year after year.
