You aren't using the term "logarithmic" correctly. In a log curve, the difference between benefits would get smaller as you moved up levels. I believe you meant to say polynomial or perhaps exponential.
yes, if you numbered delta's tiers by qualification, they'd go 1, 2, 3, 5 for FO, GM, PM, DM. The relative benefits between tiers might go more like 1, 3, 6, 10-- fairly linear or a bit steeper.

On AA the tiers go 1, 2, 4, for GLD, PLT, EXP, but the relative benefits between tiers go more like 1, 4, 16. more like a square function, definitely very steep.
