Unfortunately, with each level of "boldness," you lose some of the font's shape and finer lines. I find with Palatino that level "2" is about as high as I want to go – maybe "3" when I've got the font at size "3". It's definitely better than it was before the bolding feature, however. If I had a lighted case I wouldn't have any problem using the 8th Generation Basic (KT3). I don't know yet what the new update is going to add to the mix – it looks to have fairly minor additions.
