I'd rather have slower and better output than worse and faster output.

It depends. For something high stakes or inherently complex, sure, you don't want to have to clean up the agent's mess afterwards. But for many tasks like building web UIs, the difference in output quality is going to be small enough that iteration speed will win over quality.

With a fast enough model, I can iterate on the UI of a given screen 4-5 times before Opus finishes its first attempt.
