Is upgrading near "the end" more important than at "the beginning" for a system?

I vote for a Yes to that.

My reason is just from the veil lifting analogy. You start with 100 veils of cloth over the window, all equal, for example. Light gets through a bit but nothing can be seen through it. Taking one off only helps 1% at this stage.

Take 99 of them off, and one is left. You can see some shadows and light in an image now, much better. Take the final veil off, if you could, and you see through the glass window.

Or is every veil lifted something like only taking 1/2 step there every time? More logarithmic than linear?

My experience tells me that the closer I get to "near perfect", the crazier it gets trying to get a full balance and not overshoot the mark again.
