I don't think so. Using the same new math:

Road to $1000 = [$1000-$100]/$100 = 9

Road to $100 = [$100 - $.01]/$.01 =  9999
------------------------------------------

Relative ease = [9/9999] = .0009

Sweat-o-meter:
[ >10 ]............like really really hard
[ 8 to 10 ).......really hard
[ 6 to 8 ).........difficult or hard
[ 4 to 6 ).........whoooph
[ 2 to 4 ).........interesting
[ 0 to 2 ).........no sweat

.: w/ sweat-factor @ .0009, $100 to $1000 is "no sweat".
