Fable is way too expensive for basic software stuff. Other models are more than good enough for that.

In general, if Fable isn't blocking you, there's a high chance a lower tier model would work fine.

The only problems Opus struggles with, Fable won't take on. I was porting some software from Win32 to linux. Opus was running in circles. Fable was going great until it saw some authentication code and bailed.
