It is a price signalling problem both in the API and the subscriptions.

Difference between $3/MTok and $5/MTok does not reflect the capability difference. Similarly the subscriptions have extra Opus specific allowances. I prefer Sonnet for most tasks it is good enough, but sometimes I am forced to use Opus because am out of Sonnet for the week. It feels like Opus is unwanted second option.

If they priced Sonnet closer to $1/MTok like other models it would signal value of Opus better.
