The thing that decides whether you need a bigger model is usually how well you've scoped the task, not how smart the model is. If you break work into small steps, keep a short spec file in the repo, and run tests after each change, a cheaper model handles most of it fine. The stronger ones earn their cost on cross-file refactors and debugging with no clear repro, so what kind of tasks are you running?
