That's perfectly understandable. It's a major purchase decision. But also, I'm not aware of anyone that implemented "proper cooling" sufficient to handle the last few generations of Intel chips (at least at the high end.) I read reviews of a variety of machines. All of them had issues with throttling. I was so happy when the Ryzen 4000 mobile chips were reviewed and did not require elaborate cooling systems just to perform their regular duties. I would be shocked if the 2021 Macbook Pro 14/16" have issues with thermal throttling.
