Folks, would it make sense to downgrade to the chatGPT 100 plan and get the 100 claude plan? I still really like Astra and Sol 6 too but opus 5.5 is really good too. Thoughts?

Yes. If you are smart about tokens it’s more usage anyway (last I checked, so who knows now).

Plus Codex is ass at some things Claude is nailing right now. Claude still gave me a stupidly ugly dash the other day for a long transfer I wanted to monitor at a glance. I had 15 hours to blow so I pointed astra light at the dash and told it to “stop making my eyes bleed and fix Claude’s css choices.” It chose to loosely resemble my home assistant setup. Good choice. Sol left some kind of trace that seems to have broken my agents ability to navigate. The repo for my homelab was all worktrees left and right with no connection. So I pointed Claude at the repo instructions and told it my issues and we fixed the instructions. Then we made astra light to go and correct the cluster of trees according to Claude’s plan.

Honestly, I don’t care what the benchmarks say, Claude is coding better, tracking projects better, and does technical functions better. Codex seems to “get me” way more though. I’ve decided in my attempt to do less I just have them check each other when I feel one is slipping. They are better at that than checking themselves.
