Opus 5.5 vs Sonnet 5.5: same settings, different output
Under identical settings, Opus 5.5 took 50 minutes and cost $7 while Sonnet 5.5 took 42 minutes and cost $3, and the author argues saving $4 isn't worth a clearly worse image.

OPUS 5.5 VS SONNET 5.5 same medium setting. very different results. OPUS 5.5 (left) → 50 minutes → $7 SONNET 5.5 (right) → 42 minutes → $3 sonnet is cheaper and faster, sure. but according to this comparison, the quality gap is hard to ignore. saving $4 doesn't mean much if the result is WAY worse.
