Shapeoko Pro or Shapeoko 4

Howdy! I am ready to buy a Shapeoko. Just not sure which one to get between the Shapeoko Pro and Shapeoko 4. I keep hearing the pro needs a lot more maintenance and does not do well with humidity, is that right? It will be in my garage and I live in San Antonio where humidity is bad most year around. I’m happy to clean it plenty though if need be and it offers better speeds etc. I own two diode lasers that I clean frequently anyway. In these regards, would it be better to stick with the normal Shapeoko for my situation, or grab the pro? Thank you!
