for non-pro FCP editor - 24 v 32 GPU?

[silverlakerCA]

I keep seeing the Mac Studio refurbished units pop up on Apple - and it's rare to find the 32 GPU with 64 RAM.
If I'm using FCP, LR, Photoshop is 24 enough for me?

Thank you for your help.
I'm presently on a M1 Mac Mini and was close to going for the M2 Pro but leaning toward the Mac Studio.
Am I being impulsive looking at the Mac Studio?

If a non pro editor then yes the 24 core will be enough.
I have a base max and isn’t taxed and I also a non pro fcp video editor.

a base m2 pro would probably have done me if available at the time but do the ProRes encoding etc so Studio Max it was as no Pro Mini available till now.

either machine will be a big leap from an M1 mini.

Thank you for your comments.
From one standpoint, swapping out the M1 mini with the M2 Pro is easy.
And now that the M2 mini Pro has more ports that's becoming an appealing idea.

Really, the question is one of your life cycle. How long do you want to keep it before replacing it?
My current Studio is overkill. But I tend to have these things up to ten years

I keep my devices for as long as they keep working. Until I got the M1 mini, I was on an Intel 2012 iMac. It was okay, not a speed demon, but I wasn't editing nor playing games on it
