Hi there – sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question, so please feel free to redirect to the right one!

I'm part of a small business (so very limited constraints) working with a very talented, professional game artist and will need to provide all necessary equipment. The artist has asked for the following setup (which to me seems super expensive, and I wonder if there are good alternatives to this):

- Latest MacBook Pro: https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/15-inch-space-grey-2.6ghz-6-core-512gb#
- Wacom Cintiq Pro 24+
- Wacom Flex Arm (ergonomic mount for tablet)
- Vertical ergonomic mouse, Apple magic keyboard

Is this overkill and/or what are some budget-friendly and reasonable substitutes for these? Would really, really appreciate any help. Thanks so much.
