I'm inclined to agree with this comment. I find the whole way permissions and groups are laid out in the groups management screen inherently confusing and from what you say there is no clear logical distinction between groups and levels anyway, so one of them is certainly redundant.
What I'm really trying to do is to find some way around the incredibly irritating "feature" which I mentioned in my post, which is getting everything assigned from "basic" (for example) including things you don't want (violates the basic security principle that "everything not explicitly allowed is forbidden).
I'll try your suggestion anyway.
All the best
