I agree with that sentiment, but not for the first upgrade. Then again, I think it's directed more towards not being frustrated after the upgrade than anything else. If you upgrade on top 10's you're probably strong enough to finish in the pack in the 3's. Worse comes to worst, you can always drop down to the 4's again.
I dont know about other areas, but in Nor Cal top 10's are good results.
