Pro Max 16 PoE vs Pro Max 24 PoE.
Same Pro Max switching line, so this comes down to ports and PoE budget. Count the devices you will power over the switch's lifetime, not the ones you have today: cameras, APs, and door hardware accumulate. If the 16-port build leaves you with fewer than four spare PoE ports on day one, buy the 24.
