Qwen3.6 27B is even more impressive IMO. Dense so it doesn't run as fast but it's so good.

im kinda torn on which to download. i have the headroom to run either, mostly just want the occasional "do a coding thing im too lazy to do"

Then go with Qwen3.6 35B A3B. It's way faster (up to 5x) and it is 80% as capable as the 27B. The 27B is for serious people looking for one shot coding. The 35B is for iterative and quicker coding. I am in the same situation as you (making something I don't want to do myself) and I use the 35B at Q5_K_M.
