Not the OP but my Fable says something to the effect of "I'm afraid I can't do that Dave" and very obviously (not secretly) downgrades to Opus. I work in life sciences.

I was in a similar boat with my M1 Pro. I have an M4 Pro for work but rarely notice the difference.

Unfortunately the display in my M1 has failed and a replacement is £500-700. Very frustrating.
