> The subagent is just as intelligent

Isn't it a common practice to use cheaper models to do the grunt work?

Does this actually work for anybody? In my experience, when you use cheaper models as subagents, the more expensive parent agent ends up reading all of the subagent's work and surrounding code into context anyway to review it. So you end up paying more, not less.
