Perhaps I'm being too subtle here. I'm not arguing against the possibility you're theory is incorrect, but that you're basically questioning shit that doesnt even matter. 250->300 quality shows a huge jump in the trial, and you expect dLVL to effect that non-proportionally for whatever reason. So with your theory, with a higher dLVL, you're going to have the same slow curve upwards... except now 350 quality is where the big gains are. With a lower dLVL, the big jump occurs at 250.
..So? Were you going to stop building quality at 300 on something hard you wanted to HQ? Are you 'wasting' something by continuing to build past 250 on an easy synth?
Theres quality and durability. Durability completes the synth at 100, and all extra resources are poured into quality regardless. Your theory being correct wouldn't change anything, and thats why I called it irrelevant. It's just a nice nugget of knowledge to have. and that's all.
