These people, attempting coil 1-4, were 28% short of ilvl (meaning, coil has 90 gear) 90/70 = 128%. So the difference for them entering T1 coil (70), and the max was that. Now, with the new coil, in order for it to have 'equal' progression difficulty, it will need to have lvl 115 gear drop (assuming the 28% jump from 90->115).

Nothing to discuss. You were originally intended to be attempting this dungeon with some i80 pieces as well. Time and money constraints changed that.
But i115 wouldn't be awful, it'd leave a middle ground for CT2.
