I would agree with Darryl
I don't think you will gain much (if anything) by going to a Trashcan Mac
If you have not done it already I would look into a dual adaptor for NVME SSD drives to get max lanes and speed out of the 5.1 which is what I did with my Mid 2010 5.1 machine
And think this is most important point to consider

Me I would forget Amplitude and figure out how to get close to the sound with other less problematic amp sims.
Because I don't think complicating your mixing life, for sake one emulated plugin sound, is objectively really the best work flow decision. YMMV
