IQ2XXS is the only variant here that I could possibly run, but my PC can comfortably run qwen3.6 27b GPTQ FP8 with full context. Just curious if it worth replacing my qwen3.6 27b with this IQ2XXS.

No, it does not.

ive run both and this model definitely gives me better results for my coding needs than qwen3.6 27b.
The Qwen model is plagued with small issues (infinite reasoning/thinking loops, tool calling issues, early stopping) which i havent encountered with this model.
I've been able to one-shot a simple web app with this model, Qwen 3.6 27b said it finished building the app, turns out it was missing core requirements and what it did implement did not work. with 5 additional messages i was able to get something working.
