I've tested this myself often (as an aside: I'm in said community, I run 2x RTX Pro 6000 locally, 4x 3090 before that), and I think what you said re: "willing to wait" is probably the difference maker for me.

I can run Minimax 2.1 in 5bpw at 200k context fully offloaded to GPU. The 30-40 tk/s feels like a lifetime for long horizon tasks, especially with subagent delegation etc, but it's still fast enough to be a daily driver.

But that's more or less my cutoff. Whenever I've tested other setups that dip into the single and sub-single digit throughput rates, it becomes maddening and entirely unusable (for me).
