Level thresholds?

I have my heroes softcapped at 94 to stay in line with my maxed 2*s.
I see some people mentioning taking their 3*s to 104, 120, 140. Are there specific reasons these levels are chosen in particular? Are there certain iso cost breakpoints or scaling breakpoints or is it just arbitrary?

edit: 120 and 140 is also handy for pvp, as that's when the characters are boosted to 200
Is that the only reason people pause levelling there or is it somewhere scaling changes a lot too? I'm currently sitting at 114 for a lot of my characters, but if there aren't any major difficulty changes going to 120, I might as well do that.
You shouldn't really see a big change just going up 6 levels especially if you are doing it across the board. If you see an uptick your roster will be able to handle it. I'm pretty sure the 102 cap was so that 2*s can still tank for the 3*s.
And for some toons it just isn't worth taking past 120 due to the costs and their underpowered/underwhelming powers but they still hit 200 when boosted typically.
On the 3* front, I see 3 tiers. Those core toons like cyclops, IF, scarlet witch who should be leveled to 166. The B Team of toons that are good especially when boosted that can be taken to 140 to get a little extra juice from and those you should just leave at 120.
I should probably hoard more Iso but my 4* and 5* are too far from being cornerstone of my PVP teams.
How about above that? 180, 200, 220, 250?
I've been curious about this as well. I've seen a HUGE variety of levels of JGs and HBs lately doing events ranging from 200 up to max level. It is usually just those toons though. I almost never see a Rulk not max level for example.
My guess, if you are wanting to minimize scaling of 4*s over a 3* team, you would want to keep them around 200 to 220 so even buffed they wouldn't exceed a buffed/featured 3* team. Would be good to hear from someone with more experience with that though since I'm going to probably finally spend a little money on covering out a 4* or 2.
