Buy cheap 7,1 or Studio

[Guest hornedrum]

Hi folks,

 

I've spotted a cheap 7,1: 12 core with 192gb ram, 4tb, Sonnet Fusion Flex J3i for £1.3k.

Am I mad to think about buying this for an audio rig running Pro Tools?

 

I was holding off for the M3 Max Studio (hopefully June), with 64gb ram and 2tb new for around £2.8k with educational discount.

 

Pros and cons please? I am guessing Apple might only support Intel for 2/3 years at most?

 

Cheers.
