Talking of monitors is the best connection the hdmi to hdmi?.Thanks for all the replies. I went the M2 Pro 10/16 16GB 1TB. Definitely over bought for my needs, but should last for 5+ years. Tipping point for me was the HDMI 2.1 on the Pro. Don't even have a monitor the needs it right now, but next monitor I might want >4k >60Hz. I little bit of a forced upgrade from Apple there as I'm sure the regular M2 could run this as well.
