Opus 4.8 is so slow vs gpt 5.5 that even if it is marginally better, it doesn't matter for my daily engineering work. gpt 5.6 will be out soon and codex 249$/month plan has been incredibly generous. Paying the alleged new cost of fabel 5 would require it to be much better that I remember when I used it last.
I don't really disagree with you, but one thing I will give Fable credit for is that it's much better at adaptive thinking. In general, it's much better at quickly thinking and responding. It generally has—for me at least—none of the slowness properties of Opus, even when on extra high.
