What model sits between Qwen 3.8 27b and Flash next for coding?

Having tested both Qwen 3.8 27b and Flash next on RTX 5090 with 96GB RAM, I want to find the middle ground between the two for coding capabilities but not sacrifice decode speed to standstill. I would like decode speed to between 75-100 ideally for fast iterations; otherwise I become impatient.

Currently I get 200+ TPS on Qwen 3.8 27B and approx 50 TPS on Flash next.

My hardware - RTX 5090 and 96 GB DDR5 which I plan to upgrade to 128 GB (in this economy, yes, but unwillingly).

What model sits between these two in terms of coding capabilities and hardware requirement? If none is present, I can perhaps think of using Flash next for plan creation and 27b for implementation.

Edit: Fast forward few days. I gave Strata a go with Swift 1.5 Flash Next IQ3\_XXS and able to achieve \~150 tok/sec decode and 5k tok/sec prefill. I am escatic! The quality of response from 27b is considerably better and the speed is great. Both targets achieved.
