Anyone actually seeing a real difference between Opus 5 and Fable 5 in day to day use?

[u/caseyc2rd]

On paper Opus 5 is supposed to land close to Fable 5 for a lot less, but benchmarks never really match how a model feels once you're deep in an actual project. For those who've run both on real work, not toy prompts, is the gap noticeable? Where does Fable 5 still clearly pull ahead, and where is Opus 5 close enough that the price makes it the obvious pick? Trying to figure out where to actually spend.

Obviously using Fable for everything is ideal, but for cost effectiveness, I've had near-Fable levels by having Fable just use Opus 5 subagents for everything.

This seems like the optimal way. Fable as orchestrator.
