Out of curiosity, what spec Mac Studio did you have?
I finally got my 16" MacBook Pro and am using it now as a daily driver. M1 Max, 32C GPU, 64GB RAM. It’s a very fast machine, but it doesn’t typically feel faster than my old iMac Pro.
Until it does. In normal work, it’s not much faster — I haven’t noticed the speed a lot yet — but as soon as I do anything extremely intense, it flies like butter. (Oddly enough, I’ve noticed this a lot with Docker and Homebrew. There is absolutely no comparison when it comes to CPU-bound development tasks. I haven’t noticed a huge GPU bump yet.)
