I think I got everything base except the faster charger. Anything is going to be absolute light speed compared to my old one.
Oddly enough, the price for those two machines is/was the exact same, down to the dollar.
I have a feeling the machine is overkill for what I need but I run 4 monitors and so the Max was the only option, the rest of the upgrades were because I wanted to see how my workload would fare on such a beast. Maybe my next upgrade won't be so high-specced but I couldn't pass up 64GB of ram. I'll be using the machine for web (front and backend) and mobile development.
For software dev, don't see a lot of need for the M1 Max. Def. need the 2 4-6K monitor support, which is poor in recent MBP's (overheating).
