I'd say a 3 level difference is fairer
It is fairer, sometimes you get to experience being the underdogs as well as being the favourites when your at the top of your current level band. I am L16 this season, so I would be put in against L14,L15,L16 and L17 and you would get an easy preliminary against an inactive or semi active L14 team to start by the cup seedings.
