Both processors work well with AE and are neck and neck in bench test data I’ve seen, so you’re fine with either choice. I’m one of those guys that likes both Mac and PC, so if you’re like me and don’t have a preference, saving money is always nice. I mean, you can basically upgrade to another PC in 2 years and be no more out of pocket than with the Mac purchase now. However, I would STRONGLY recommend 64GB of RAM. If you are getting an external monitor (screen real estate is essential for me), then I wouldn’t sweat the 14″ ASUS.
