I don't think things like vehicle cert upgrades are actually sidegrades at all; devs have talked about power increasing is fine as long as it's accessed through gameplay (which I agree with). I think in this case they just arbitrarily pick the maximum alowable % increase in power, speed whatever, and then divide that range by how many certs they want it to take to max out.

Of course I'm not speaking to the standard side graded equipment like gun configurations and stuff.
