Here are the Passmark CPU scores:
M2 Max 12 Core: 26797
M4 Pro 12 Core: 32930

The M2 Max might be faster for GPU-heavy workloads, and it has 32GB RAM instead of 24GB. But I don't think either is decisive: if 24GB is not enough, 32GB probably wouldn't be much of an improvement.

This Mac Studio is also cheaper. But then it is used, and it will have shorter software support. Overall I would say that the $999 Mac Mini at Microcenter is better, unless you have specific needs.

It seems like a really good deal, plenty of everything even for a fairly heavy user, but I don't know if I'd be okay with my $900 Mac Studio no longer receiving the latest OS in as little as 3 years. 5-7y is the average a Mac will receive new OS releases.

Edited a documentary with DaVinci last year on this, was great. The term "Amazon renewed" is meaningless, just say it - it's used.

M4 Pro if you want better single core performance and want a small setup. Go with the Studio if you need to render large files and value the SD card slot and having more ports on the back

This isnt apple refurbished via their store either, its Amazon, so Id be leery of that.

The Mac Studio has some more ports that are useful, and Im currently editing on this exact same system and loving it. And truthfully, before this I was on a Hackintosh that was 3-4 OS behind and still doing all of my video work with ease, so Im not worried about it not supporting OS in 3-4 years. But, if you dont need the extra ports or extra RAM, hard not to go with the Mac Mini
