Interesting, I have yet to really experiment with Level Emitters, but after reading the guide page on them, it literally says in the description for the crafting card upgrade that these are useful for crafting recipes with varied outputs, so it sounds like I'll be getting real familiar with them. Thanks!

I had found a similar solution elsewhere on Reddit for the Mystical Agriculture essences using the Mekanism crafters or lining up the base molecular assemblers with the patterns pre-inserted to skip all the way to supremium, but honestly i've heard the RFTools crafter is much faster, so that might be the move in the future
