The OS apparently fits within the 32MB ROM, but I don't know how much is left...probably not too much. This isn't really that important right now but might effect whether you could upgrade to a future os (WM2004?).

The 32MB RAM is a restriction and will limit how much software you'll be able to load onto the Ax. You'll probably need to keep at least 20 MB RAM free for running apps meaning you can only load about 12MB of apps in RAM. Many apps can be loaded onto the memory cards but some cannot, or are better placed right in RAM.

If you can swing the Advanced I'd say go for it to get the extra RAM.

Also, down the road you might look at the PPCTechs RAM upgrade to 128MB (I'm really considering it myself). It cannot be done to the Basic unit (32MB).
