Vicky(@bc1beat):Two clear trends emerge with every new model release: Older models get significantly cheaper. Deciding which model to actually use becomes far more complex. Do you really need to pay top dollar for the shiny new flagship? Or does a budget—or even free—model handle the job just as well? We published a routing benchmark last week, but given how fast price and performance dynamics are moving, we plan to rerun it more frequently
