Im not a pro at video but wouldn’t it be a huge downgrade to switch from the MacBooks screen to either of these options?

Considering the work you’re doing (video editing), a higher resolution like 1440p could be beneficial for you, even though the difference might not be as noticeable on a smaller 18" screen as it would be on a larger one. It really depends on what you’re comfortable with, and whether or not the higher price is justifiable for you. However, also remember to factor in things like color accuracy, contrast ratio, and refresh rate, which might be more important for your specific use case.
