Processor speed choice on new MBP's

[dapork]

I was just wondering when the GHz difference would come into play, and whether it's worth paying for more. Both of these options give you the choice of upgrading to 2.9. I'm leaning toward the cheaper 2.6GHz and just upgrading the graphics to 460 and the SSD to 512GB for a total of 3.477,25. I use Logic Pro and do some light gaming. Would the processor speed matter for games?

If you are interesting in doing some occasional gaming, definitely get the Pro 460. The CPU doesn't really matter.

If OP had put 8GB of RAM would you say "go for 16GB, as you cant add RAM later"?

Don't decide specs based on what you need today.
Decide specs based on how long you want the computer to last.

I want it to last as long as possible. Especially considering these things have all USB-C ports and I'm not a hardcore gamer. If it stays in good condition for a long time it should definitely last me. I've been working with Logic on a 2009 Macbook with a 2,26GHz processor. Given this would the processor choice make much of a difference in years to come? What does the processor speed relate to specifically in terms of applications and tasks?
