Your experience with Claude Max + Cursor Pro ($220 total) vs Cursor Ultra ($200) is an interesting case. The Cursor Ultra benefits you mentioned (1M context window with Sonnet, browser preview integration) are genuinely meaningful for your workflow.

We really appreciate discussions like this because they help the team improve Cursor’s workflow.
