Strix Halo 128GB vs M5 pro 64GB

What would you pick if they were at the same/similar price, say around $3000 (Macbook pro 16" vs laptop at a little more or even Mini PC at a little less like $2500). Has someone tried both in terms of speed? I use LM studio. I tend to prefer MacOS because of Drawthings, which is much more user friendly than comfyUI (at least to me), but I believe it’s 48 vs 96 GPU available RAM. Currently I am using a 24GB Macbook air and a 20GB AMD GPU in a eGPU dock with a 32GB RAM laptop, but I also have a 64GB RAM mini pc. Would the 20GB GPU make sense in a eGPU setup with Strix Halo?
