IMHO (meaning you can ignore it, just my opinion) if the only difference is the memory size -machine raspi4b -memory 4g would be better user experience than having a lot of different machines.
Yes, I think I agree. We have a way for users to specify how much memory they want, and I think it makes more sense to use that than to have lots of different machine types.
I guess for the Pi we should validate the -memory supplied is on of the supported grid of devices rather than an arbitrary value? -- Alex Bennée Virtualisation Tech Lead @ Linaro
