I will be fair with you, I'm not a thirdie and i have the resources to run up to 48 gbvram but I'm still using 1.5, pony, xl and barely started using illustrious.
Why?
Thousand of ready made loras and sliders for body shapes, hairs, etc.
It is also easier to debug what goes wrong when you have thousand of resources on top of it.
1.5 was good to me and i know how to use it. It also works well with controlnet.
Xl and pony were so-so. The quality got better but i didn't need 4k images. Thwy were very bad with controlnet.
Illustrious seems promising so far.
The thing i am seeing the most are enthusiats who barely even count as hobbyists that just go for the latest tech and really just dick around in it.
Right now, ai should focus on better efficiency rather than another model and to refine the existing models.
If a new model comes out, i cannot do much with it other than dick around with the basics.
