the very best flux in almost all aspects is krea. beyond the visuals it can do so much more than Flux1.Dev and srpo. Unlike SRPO it isn't just a visual enhancement. I know it's not a base model, but it is also a standalone flux model. Compatible with Flux loras and Redux.

try anything dirty or damaged or ripped (like: a man in a dirty, damaged shirt... ) in .1 dev (or pro btw) and you can see it's desperate attempts to simulate something it('s text encoder) is aware off but it just can't do. Unlike even some ancient SDXL models btw.
Krea is in terms of prompts it can follow not a million miles away from qwen image. Downsides: It makes clothes with structure or patterns often TOO gritty and scruffy, and people never actually look at each other.

But of course, at a dramatically higher cost, Flux2 should indeed vastly better ( but NOT compatible with any old loras.
(little update: i have not seen a model make such a MESS of hands and limbs in multi subject scenes since SDXL or Flux Schnell). We are actually back in six finger land. I hope that are new-model early issues.
