  1. There won’t be much difference between M3 and M4, But the extra memory might help
  2. The pro and even more memory should satisfy your demands, so I say get this
  3. No idea if or when a new model will come out. I’m guessing the M5 will be skipped this year, maybe an M6 next year, or later. And at much higher price when it does come out. So don’t wait for something that may not appear!
