On front (M1 Max): Two USB-C ports (up to 10 Gbps). Vs On front (M1 Ultra): Two Thunderbolt 4 ports (up to 40 Gbps)

Does that mean with the Ultra you can plug in an additional 2 displays and faster external drives and peripherals?

Pros/cons. Thoughts?

You could plug displays in the front TB4 ports, but you're still limited to the same maximum number of displays, regardless of where you plug them in.

Yes, faster external drives and peripherals on the front TB4 ports.
