Heavy user: fast, cheap Claude Opus 5.5 now takes all my serious work

User brandongalang says Claude Opus 5.5 feels like a return to prime form for Anthropic, combining Fable-level intellect and intent inference with 5.6 Sol instruction adherence, while being fast and cheap enough to use freely. He still likes astra's control, but it's pricey like Fable — Opus 5.5 now gets all his serious work tokens.
