Actually you're wrong about this. The closer your item is to the level of the dungeon, the more SB you get. i48 gear in an i55 dungeon will bond slower than in an i50 dungeon like castrum. Take a look at the tests people have run in the different threads about SBing. You'll see that your best SB rate will come from dungeons that are level appropriate. And no, even though I'm running through castrum is full left and right job appropriate SB gear, I'm technically not leeching or undergeared for the dungeon because it is level appropriate for the gear I'm wearing.
