Here are the results from my machines of Uli's test project:
13" MacBookPro, M1, 8core, 16GB, 1TB - 11.6 - 1h35m30s
16" MacBookPro, 8core i9, 32GB, 2TB, 5600M - 10.15.7 - 37m18s
iMacPro 10core, 32GB, 2TB, Vega64 - 10.14.6 - 18m42s
16" MacBookPro, 10core M1 Max, 64GB, 2TB - 12.01 - 10m29s
I sold my Intel MBP which covered two thirds of the cost of my new 16" Max, making it a more easily justified upgrade. My work often requires me to be mobile, the fact that I have this level of (silent) power in a portable computer for me is fabulous. "Is it worth the price?" For me and from what I need a computer to do, yes, definitely.
iMacPro 10core, 32GB, 2TB, Vega64 - 12.6.5
16" MacBookPro, 10core M1 Max, 64GB, 2TB - 13.4
14" MacBookPro, M2, 10core, 16GB, 512GB - 13.4
