I think the simple reality is that if your goal is producing quality work output, you want the smartest possible model available.
What is the upper bound on the value of more intelligence applied to your problem domain?
The point of a model like this is aimed at providing local inference. You want the smartest model available, as long as it meets all of your other criteria. That isn't always maximizing on the absolute smartest model. There are many reasons to avoid a frontier model for now for a variety of reasons. All of this is even only relevant in the last 6 months anyhow. So it isn't like this is even some long term trade off or position I am proposing.
