Yes, I understand the reasoning behind this change, it's just in actual usage scenarios it's not really practical. Looks good on paper, but in practice I could never get used to this UI and all of my lights that are following this sequence are just sitting nicely in their boxes never to get any actual usage.
In practice it's a longer way to go from medium to low let's say by following this sequence. Med > Hi > Turbo > Hi > Med > Low, instead of Mid > Hi > Turbo > Low for ex.
Also, if you're on Hi, you're getting right back to the same level (Hi) in 2 clicks.. which is not what you'd want.. Same goes for Med - Med > Low > Med.. again, not making any sense, just wasted clicks to get round in place. Not to mention that there's no consistency - you could either be in Med and the sequence would go up or it could go down.. whichever that you won't know when needed. Those are practical flaws in actual usage.
Should the sequence be the usual one, you would always know that from a certain level you've always going to go up a step. That's consistentcy, that's good for an actual usage case scenario.

And thank you for taking this change in consideration.
