Title says it all. I'm planning to get an M2 Mac Studio soon. Personally, I'm still coming to a decision on the following SoC & RAM options:

SoC:

M2 Ultra with 24-core CPU, 60-core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine
M2 Ultra with 24-core CPU, 76-core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine

RAM:

128GB
192GB

To current M2 Studio owners, how did you choose your specs and why? Also could you comment on real world performance with regards to your workflow(s)? Thanks! :)

I mean for RAM I'd just look at what you are currently using when working by pulling up Activity Monitor and seeing if you have a ton of swap going on. And then figure out how long you plan on using the system and add some buffer assuming RAM needs will increase over time.
