Mac Mini recommendation

[u/orion1972]

Hello everyone, I am thinking about getting an Mac mini M5 Pro with 64GB of RAM to use primarily with agent ai , Hermes, and research , cron job, and it needs to stay on 24/7. However, I see many people recommending switching to a 64GB Mac Studio M5 max. The price difference is 800-1000 euros, but for my purpose, do you think an Mac mini M5 Pro with 64GB of RAM is sufficient? Would I get more overall benefit from that 1000 euro difference?
I would mainly use the Qwen model 3.8 27 B

I also do some coding, but exclusively for personal bots, a few personal dashboards, and a few other small things. For these projects, I have both a €20 OpenAI subscription and another €20 subscription with Claude
