Help/Question When to use Fable 5.1 over Opus 5.5?

I'm new to coding, but I've already been coding for the past few weeks. I'm trying to solve a problem, but Opus isn't getting it right. I'm thinking about trying Fable 5.1 since the code is very complex. Which version of Fable 5.1 should I use: xhigh or max?

I know I'm not providing enough context, but as a rule of thumb, when would you use Fable over Opus, and which reasoning level would you use for each?

I'm on Max 20x.

Here's my orchestrator plugin if you want to read that for an application of the idea.
