alt Hacker NewsFable always felt clearly a huge step above Opus for me. It's been able to one shot complex bugs and apps Opus could never solve. But it's expensive.

Only version week-one.
I’m downgrading tomorrow.
It’s horrible slow and it feels like opus very often. It’s a totally different experience from the first week

Amusingly, I was impressed with Fable's puissance at coding in one particular session, shortly after they turned it back on. True to its reputation, it displayed an accomplished mastery of the problem domain and relentlessness at refining and testing the solution I asked for.
Then I checked /usage and discovered I was still running Opus 4.8 xhigh.
Honest question/comment for you and the parent: I find these subjective experience reports pretty empty without an understanding of your level of experience, the problem space you're working in, etc.
