I think the spread is okay, it's what they're for that I don't always get - for example, as you say, there are some bronze that are harder to get than silver, that seems unbalanced.
I guess it's hard to ensure that everyone will find a bronze equally easy and a silver more challenging - after all what I find hard you might find easy, but sometimes the challenge does seem unbalanced to the Trophy value.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
