If you’re going to pay on the margin, why not use those incremental dollars running the same requests on cline? I’m assuming cost is the deciding factor here because, quality-wise, plugging directly into provider apis with cline always does a much better job for me.

Good callout, will try! I haven't considered switching tools, it's mostly convenience of just continuing, instead of stopping mid-way through and switch out the tools. But also I only code intermittently, a couple of days a week at most these days, because it's only part of what I do, so I can get to experiment with new tooling much less than i'd like.
Cheers, give it a shot. Cline runs as an extension within Cursor, so you can use it to augment your existing workflows with almost zero disruption.
