I use this for video editing. Its pretty fast, but I can't get over how many dongles are needed. I get that you want it to look sleek. But call it the sleek model, not the pro model. It doesn't look very good with a bunch of wires hanging out of it. Put in an sd card reader, 4 usb 3.1 cables thunderbolt 2, thunderbolt 3 and an escape key that you don't accidentally hit on the touch bar and lose work all the time. The trackpad is ridiculously big too.
