From Mac Studio M2 Max to Mac Studio M4 max - worth it?

Based on the information you have provided, no.
You need to give us an idea of what you do with the machine. The M2 Max is in no way an obsolete chip, so unless every extra second waiting is money lost, then there's likely no reason to upgrade.
What is the intended usage of the computer? What apps do you use? How's you're storage situation, and what does the M2 Max fail that you think the M4 Max will succeed at?
Its impossible to provide a buying recommendation without knowing how the computer will be used and/or why the current computer is now not living up to your expectations.

Well I use the current Mac Studio for web browsing, music, video, content creation, monitoring network, transcoding movies, office, chats, Evernote, 3 monitors, Elgato hardware, FaceTime, zoom. ops, Final Cut Pro. Multiple programs running at the same time.
You can do all of that on an iPad Pro pretty much - except for the 3 monitors, but you don't need any sort of Mac Studio or Max CPU for that.
certainly with an iPad Pro, but not simultaneously. The Mac is not struggling, only with games. The computer is the one I wanted, not what the salesman wanted me to buy. Free enterprise I believe. But in any case thanks for the input. I'll wait.
