The trouble with that logic is that, at the moment, lower-levelled R/E/M are already pretty good, which means by your reasoning that a level 99 Excalibur currently doesn't possess that "emotional awe" that you're describing, which I don't think is necessarily true at all. All I am proposing is maintaining what's currently in place - when the upgrades occur, if lower level weapons upgrade at the same time the "relative awesomeness" quotient will remain the same. If anything, your argument implies that we should upgrade lower level R/E/M, otherwise we'll have a load of useless Excaliburs around that are pretty much as useful as Save the Queen is now.
