Don't know how much more RAM different destops would add. How much is
Xubuntu compared with Ubuntu Studio? And how much would Ubuntu Studio be
if we only changed the WM, nothing else?

I for one, don't expect that any WM will be that resource intensive by
itself, that it would make a really big difference in RAM usage.

Just compare Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio. Regular Ubuntu Natty uses quickly
up to 2GB of RAM, while UBuntu Studio Natty uses about 1GB, both using
the classic Gnome Desktop.
Using Unity instead of Gnome does not impact on that from what I can
see, so how much is the WM actually doing?

I feel like a dead horse is being flogged here. PC systems these days are
getting fed more and more ram with each update/upgrade. So the amount of ram
usage the WM uses is almost irrelevant now considering anyone serious enough
to be running Ubuntu Studio will more than likely have 4GB or more ram
anyway.
