Considering the price of the new MacBooks, I doubt that the 1000€ I spent would be enough to bump it’s specs in order to be able to have decent resources for the host and the VM and no way the performance would ever be the same. The only limitation is that I cannot connect to it without internet but with the exception of plane travels, that is not really a problem for me. I spent less than 1000€ and speced it with the best components I could get 11 months ago: AMD 4750G APU 8C/16T, 64GB ram, 1 TB SSD. Works great, without any of the limitations related to the current state of Parallels and Windows on ARM. Still, considering all these shortcomings, I decided for something else: I built a small fanless PC just for trading, including WL6/WL7 and, when I want portability, I just Remote Desktop to it (via a VPN on my router) from the MacBook or lately an iPad Pro. In the meantime, Parallels Desktop is also available for the M1 and Microsoft accelerated the development of Windows for ARM, including support for 64 bits applications. Then, with Apple ditching Intel, things were to become more complicated. It worked great with WL6, although it didn’t support multi-threaded optimisations. I had a 6y old MacBook Pro (Intel based) and ran windows 10 via Parallels Desktop. Some months ago, I was considering the same and then decided for something completely different.
