Last minute discussion before ordering.

Talk with Apple about M1 Pro vs Max:

“I’m in robotics-3d modeling, machine learning and software engineering and yes on college. Do I need the max?”

Apple employee said I should be getting the max with my 16” is he/she correct? I’m hoping to order today. I’m leaning towards the M1 Pro for battery and heat reasons . I just don’t want to make the wrong decision. I’m also hoping to have Apple expedite my order since this is a replacement issue.
