I think most people use 3.5 with joy for free. For my (programming) tasks it is also only slightly more useful. So much that I sometimes subscribe to get the higher quality, but for the occasional question 3.5 is enough. And if 3.5 is not able at all, because the question is too tough, then 4 seldom is capable either in my experience.
