Sol 5.6 vs Sol 6.1 for knowledge work, how’s it going?

For everyone using Sol models not for coding but for knowledge work. Things like: XLS/CSV analysis, biz strategy docs, biz writing for internal and external audiences, email triage, etc. Not a consumer situation so resets/usage limits are irrelevant. Sol 5.6 (High) still seems like the best fit for cost vs speed vs capability. Sol 6.1 has seemed pokey for generally the same quality output. I’m going through some evals now and have collected older anecdotal evidence and evals, but a fresh take, however limited, would be quite useful!
