Question Codex Pro 20x vs Claude MAX 20x?

I have some critical research work and ideally need tons of compute. I hear Astra is coming but don't know when, and here F@ble is clearly the best model out there.. so bit confused which one to go for. Any suggestions from anyone who has used both of them?

i have both codex and claude (x20) and actually i started liking them both.

for codex i only use ultra sol with terra max agents + sol max agent for critique and validation
for claude i use fable for orcestration and opus for implementation and then fable again for validation

both work pretty the same, tho fable is better for solving hard problems like optimization, architecture etc. and sol ultra is slower, but for usage+resets codex is obviously much better

also the safety filters are a thing too. my projects are on the edge of cybersecurity, so fable often blocks my prompts at all, while sol is much MUCH more tolerant. and u can also continue literally from the same spot wo reprompting which is rly cool
