Best Workflow

For fast generations with a strong style, use 4 steps with a LoRA.
The LoRA already brings a strong visual direction, so 4 steps are usually enough to get a detailed and finished-looking image.

For general use without LoRA, 6 steps gives the best balance between speed, detail and consistency.

Use 8 steps only when you want a little more refinement on a final image or for more difficult prompts.
