Hi all,
I'm a fairly new professional in photography and videography, and my current setup doesn't cut it anymore. I use photoshop, lightroom, and, most importantly, final cut pro with various plugins. I am often using multiple overlays and effects in my exports.
I need a new setup and considering one of the following:
Now, would you experts think it is worth the extra money to buy the Mac Studio with more ram and better CPU+GPU, but with an "outdated" M2 ultra chip?
I usually edit on 4k, 10bit raw-files in final cut pro, but occasionally also some 8k, 10bit raw (S-log3).
Hope you all can point me in an efficient direction.

I need a new setup and considering one of the following:
- Macbook Pro 14" M3 Max, 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU. 64 GB ram, SSD at 2 TB ~ 6000$
- Mac Studio M2 Ultra, 24‑core CPU, 60‑core GPU, 128 GB ram, SSD at 2 TB ~ 7200$
Now, would you experts think it is worth the extra money to buy the Mac Studio with more ram and better CPU+GPU, but with an "outdated" M2 ultra chip?
