5 was definitely bad. 5.5 seems a lot better so far. But still not close to Fable in terms of quality.

what was the problem with 5? to me, it seemed like the first Opus since 4.6 that was a real step up in intelligence without any obvious downsides

		It was really verbose and pedantic. I'm sure that made it more thorough. But compared to Fable (which it wasn't much cheaper than) where you could get the same rigour and more with a lot more concision, it was a tough sell. 5.5 is a lot cheaper and seems a lot better balanced.
