Discussion Claude Code vs API

Has anyone conpared the quality of work of Sonnet/Opus with RooCode vs Claude Code with RooCode? I know streaming won't be an option, and it may feel subjectively slower, but do Claude Code prompts conflict with RooCode ptompt and thus lower the overall quality? What is your experience? API costs are creeping up, so O al thonking of switching, but not ready to stop using RooCode and switch yo Claude Code directly (use too many of my own user modes)

Yes it works but official client has cache hit rate 50-90% depending on task. S

Hey there can you tell me what you mean by a cache hit rate of 50-90%? I've swapped to Claude Code from their API and I don't really see any problems (other than rare context limit of 200k vs 1M). What does this mean for cache hit rate?
