On the other hand, if you divide the SQC that each tier requires by 4, which is the flex or higher earning rate per dollar spent, and compare it to the SQD required for each tier currently, SEs seem to have gotten off easy:

SE: 31,250 vs 20,000
75k: 18,750 vs 9000
50k: 12,500 vs 6000
35k: 8750 vs 4000
25k: 6250 vs 3000

Things come closer to even if one can get 25k SQC from other means, e.g., premium card spend.
