Am I alone in finding no use for Opus? Token costs are like 10x yet I see no difference at all vs. Sonnet with Claude Code.

On my tasks (mostly data science), Opus has significantly lower probability of making stupid mistakes than Sonnet.

I'd still appreciate more intelligence than Opus 4.5 so I'm looking forward to trying 4.6.
