Confused with M5 or M4 Pro Chip

Okay so I will start with the tasks which I will be doing on my machine:

  • Running LLMs locally (No model training)
  • Extensive development/coding tasks
  • Docker containers etc

Earlier I was planning to buy Macbook Pro M5 16GB which is 1.69L But then someone told that I should atleast buy 24GB so that is now costing me 1.89L

But what I noticed is M5 comes with 10 Core CPU and GPU

Then I searched and about M4 PRO chip which has more cores of CPU and GPU, and that 24 GB variant is costing me 1.99L (just 10k more than previous one)

So, now I am confused what to choose ? Should I wait for M5 Pro ? I already increased my budget but is it worth to spend 2 Lakhs ? I just don’t want to end up taking a wrong decision buying the high end variant So, I need suggestions from you guys ..
