It may be true about the subtle difference between next lying grades. But from my personal experience, a small TW/VVS is a world more impressive that an even bigger W/SI. It is not about grades, it's about the whole thing together. The sensation of looking at the TW/VVS1 in a proper light is quite something, which I did not expect before.
