If the characteristics of each new healing spell are different enough, treating them like different tiers of the same spell wouldn't make much sense in my opinion. What we will most likely get is three spells, low MP cost medium MP cost and high MP cost with varying characteristics. Every one of them will retain their usefulness at any given level considering they will grow in potency automatically.
