Should I buy Lexar gold 1800x 280mb 64gb or silver 1667x 250mb 128gb memory card?

I have a sony a7iv camera and I use it mostly for photography in still life, commercial, street and landscape fields but I'm also planning to use it for wildlife photography which requires burst shooting.
I came up with these two options within my budget; Lexar gold 1800x 280mb 64gb and Lexar silver 1667x 250mb 128gb
one gives me better speed and the latter provides more capacity.
Which do you all think I should buy? Or if you recommend better options aside these two within the same budget, I would really appreciate the help.

Write speed is the key to burst shots.

Only you can decide whether the higher capacity is more important to you than the burst speed.

Lexar isn't the only brand in town though - Kingston Canvas React Plus is v90/UHS-II (260W/300R) and is often on offer.

Would you not be better off with CFExpress Type A - which will usually knock the socks off SD for speed?

Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately Kingston isn't available where I live, mostly Lexar and SanDisk are in store here. Sony memory cards also can be found but they are ridiculously expensive.
I was interested in CFExpress but my camera's first slot kinda broke a while ago and I can't fix it for the time being and Sony a7iv slot 2 only supports SD/SDXC/SDHC.
Also there is the matter of budget.

I'd still look about to see what else there is (from the recognised brands, that stand by their products) in your local market

UHS-II/v90 SD cards - if they don't tell you the read speed & write speed separately, they're either hiding something (or are embarrassed by the number) 250MB/s write speed is doable - theoretically maxes out around 310-315MB/s.

I did have a Kodak v90 that was 280W/300R - was remarkably cheap too. I think there's an Integral branded range that does 260W/300R too.

In terms of capacity - 1GB represents somewhere in the region of 30-60 shots - so 64GB should be thousands.
