So I'm thinking of keeping the base 8-core i9 processor and instead of spending on the upgrade for that, just spend the $480 to get to 1TB SSD instead of 512GB. 2TB is $1200 and I think that's getting silly price-wise.

What would be a typical Pro Tools audio file size? I'm sure there's a ton of factors to look at but are we talking of a scale from hundreds of MB to some GB?

Thanks again!

I think you'll find a 1TB ssd will be more than enough with some future proofing. especially if you are not intending to install large libraries of plugins and virtual instruments and or sound loops/effects and such that want to run on the same ssd. Unless maybe you doing some 3.5 hr full feature film score..... but then you would have a budget for bigger better system. just make sure you have a backup drive which doesn't need to be an expensive large size ssd...
