Like there should be a natural path between all raids A1->A2->A3->A4->A1S->A2s->A3S with each one getting a little bit harder (not potentially easier, and not waaaaay harder).
I like the natural progression of the raids as you mentioned. though player strats will seek to make individual parts more easier or harder, this feels like an ideal way to do the curve and is still worth seeking.
