Curious if you have tried custom instructions. I was never quite as unhappy with Claude's voice as you appear to be, but there were several things I didn't like. A custom prompt fixed almost all of them.

I think it would be very hard to convince someone to pay $100/mo to go back to Claude if they have a local model up and running, particularly now that model improvement has basically been stalled for the last 6 months. It’s so easy to set it up for yourself now too with things like LM studio. That said, there will always be unsophisticated users who can’t figure it out, so there will always be someone there to pay.
