D4S has stepped UI - default 7 steps with the option of quite a few more (I've not experimented with this as I find the step/thermal setup modes confusing). I find the spacing to be satisfactory and use it instead of the ramping UI, which for its ability to hit something close to the precisely correct brightness is distracting and also seems to encourage needless fidgeting with it. But I still like my D4's.
It is even usually possible to figure out discrete steps that land exactly on the ramp channels. Toykeeper has a python script she keeps on her site for calculating the steps, although I found it more convenient to copy the same calculation into Excel.
On the D4S, if you want 7 levels, and you leave the ramp ceiling at the default of step 120, you can set the ramp minimum to 9, 10, or 11 (default is 20), and step 5 will be the 100% 3x7135 channel.
If you want the lowest possible moonlight, you can choose 7 levels, discrete ramp floor of 1, and discrete ramp ceiling of 124 or 125.
I have my ROT66 similarly configured with a step exactly at 100% 1x7135 and another at 100% 7x7135.
