Is it really that much better than cursor’s agent? I’m hesitant to try because it would be out of pocket and I get cursor for free (work). It’s hard to understand how it could be that different if both are using sonnet under the hood.

Yes, much better. Cursor pays for the tokens and you pay Cursor, so it's within their best interest to minimize the context and the number of requests to Claude.
