Hi,
It's pretty much impossible to answer 'cos it's going to depend on the daw, sample rates/bit depth, the number/type of plugins being used, the number of sample libraries being used, etc,
but safe to say either would be a very capable music production machine.
If you haven't heard about the new M1 macs (apple silicon) you might want to hold off, though.
They've only released Macbook Air, 13" MBP, and MacMini but it's not your regular annual update. It's a paradigm shift.
If you're upgrading from a mac you have right now, I'd wait a little while. ;)
