I would say go for 64-bit, with no doubt about it. Yes, it's true that
the store index will be somewhat larger on 64-bit than 32-bit, but at
the same time it unlocks your hardware and memory isn't very expensive.

You are most likely very very close to the limit already. The
theoretical limit of 32-bit applications is 2^32 bytes or 4GB, but it's
just theoretical. The practical limit is significantly less.. Exacly
where is very OS and application dependent.
