Some are much more difficult, and others are considerably easier. Much more variety than is possible under a per-encounter system where the artificial limit of the 4 average encounters/day, upon which the per-day system was callibtrated by the designers. And not only are they different in what the PCs experience over a day, but each encounter is widely different in terms of the power of opponents (ranging from PL 4 to PL 14). Seems like plenty of variety to me.</blockquote>
