What is the best m1 mac choice for developers

Hello developers i need some help.
I’am more than 5 yearsas full stack web developer working using php,mysql and front js with vue js and use list off apps like vscode, 20 browsers tabs or more ,mysql tools, adobe products and more
I have macbook pro 15inch late 2016 and need to buy new m1 mac
But i feel confused i’am from Egypt and apple products really really expensive here.
The new m1 devices MacBook pro 13 inch or mac mini price are good but i can not decide what performance i’ll get from them in the future .
And m1 pro / m1 max expensive option with more powerful performance

I need device for future work like learning flutter and using Xcode and android studio with full stack development

Keep using your MBP 2016, it's still solid, if really want to get a new MBP and feeling new m1 pro MBP expensive, you can buy Mac Studio base model as long as mobility is no need.
