One of these days I'll try setting to 10 levels to see if the more frequent button pushing is worth the finer gradations in power/speed.
With a programming cable you can set each assist level to be whatever you want it to be. You could make level 1 produce a higher power than level 10 if you wish.

If you don't like button pushing you might be better served with a torque sensing unit.
