Are there any benchmarks comparing a MAXED-OUT MBP 15" 9,2 (15" Mid-2012) to a Maxed-out MBP 11,5 (15" Mid 2015)?

Currently I own the 11,5 (16gb RAM, 512gb SDD, 2gb VRAM, 2.8ghz i7).
A member in my family needs a new laptop, so I am going to give them mine and get another.
I was considering getting the same 11,5, which I currently own but with a 1TB drive OR getting a: 9,2 15" 2.7ghz i7, 16gb RAM, 1gb VRAM and the fastest SSD I can install (Can I install a raid drive?)

I do film, audio and photo production. At this point, I have found my current laptop to be slower than ideal for this use, which is why I am thinking about putting less emphasis on a laptop and getting a desktop soon.

Thoughts?
