not sure how "top developers" are defined here, but there is huge diminishing return curve starts kicking in after $200/month price point for typical eng work.

I agree with the diminishing returns on spend, but worth noting that when on an Enterprise seat and paying API rates, I'd say that you can easily spend above 200/mo before seeing the curve begin to flatten

Obviously there are a ton of ways to spend money / tokens and people have different levels of experience that will put this ceiling at very different levels for different people.

I think that we are starting to see that API inference prices for US labs are excessive and subscription prices are closer to real costs so 200/m can be realistic longer term.

If you're talking Opus pricing, it's more like $200/day.
