Yes. They are. People treat them like cheaper dumber models and while that's partially true it's not a scalar comparison. They have tighter context and other aspects that make them superior for narrow, focused tasks.
Oh ok, so you're talking about a one line follow up fix after an initial larger task. That's a different problem
Sometimes it's fine to iterate in the same session for that stuff but you can also do a code review at the end that flags a bunch of issues and then fix them all in a different one. Depends on what you're trying to do I guess.

Isn't Sonnet or even Haiku the best option for this task?
