I just got an ad from Seeed Studio.  It offers an 8G Raspberry Pi 4 for
pre-order.  I didn't know of this new RAM size before seeing the ad.
Estimated availability date is June 5.

US$75 for a computer with 8G seems quite reasonable.

Being greedy, the only Pi 4's I've purchased have been 4G units.  I
will probably only buy 8G units in the future.  I admit that 2G is
enough for many purposes.

8G certainly makes a 64-bit OS more desireable.  I think that Raspbian
is still only 32 bits (so that all Pi's are still supported by one
image, I think).

Seeed is an interesting "maker" sort of vendor.  I have ordered a couple
of Pi 4's from them in the past.  I consider them reputable.  Slowish
delivery (from China).  They do have a warehouse in the US too.

This says that the Foundation has started working on 64-bit Raspbian.
64-bit Ubuntu and other distros are already available now.
