My biggest hesitation with springing for the M1Ultra besides the money, is that it's already one year old. If you want to set up a download of some of your files/presets I can run a test for you. That puts it at only an $800 delta over the M2 Mini and that's a great value. If you are patient, the model you are thinking of turns up on the Apple Refurb store and you'll save 10%. On top of that you get support for more monitors, and 50% more Thunderbolt 4 ports. Also, Lightroom now uses the GPU for a lot of functions, including exports, and all of those extra GPU cores on the Ultra will help you out a lot as will the fact the memory bandwidth is doubled in speed. OK that's sloI personally would not recommend 32GB to anyone working with 100Mpx files remember the CPU and GPU are sharing this memory.
