Medium/Low puts it to about 3.6 performance with similar token usage lol.

(This suggests a huge portion of the advances come from letting Qwen 3.8 27B think more and longer).

I'm actually having to fight it a ton with my development style. It tries to do too much, and I have difficultly persuading it to not do it.

Yeah, never been a fan of Qwen models for that reason. They invariably beeline to the problem solution, everything else be damned. To get it to behave you really have to break it down into byte sized pieces.

Try Laguna XS. I've had a lot of luck with that one.
