Over decades of buying Macs I've learned that the higher end stuff will last a long time for me. The extra money upfront buys me several extra years of use. Well worth it. I think you'll be fine for a decade with that Mac Studio you have. I remember when we did the recording of the choirs for one of the Halo games I did it all on a 9 year old 17" MacBook Pro.
That's why I decided to go all-in on the Ultra rather than save a couple of thousand on the Max. I'll be very happy if I'm still feeling this computer is enough in a decade.
