Alexa volume Steps too large

I would like to know if others feel the same way about Alexa’s volume steps being too large. In my living room I have a Playbar and two Play Ones so the Volume is louder than just having a single speaker. When I ask Alexa to change from volume one to two, the difference is too great! I have to keep reaching for the app to find a level in between manually.
It would be much better to either introduce a scale of 1-100, but I understand that would be harder to achieve for Sonos as it’s an Alexa scale used on all their products. Instead, how about a mode (similar to night mode which handles compression) where you can have half power? For my everyday needs I currently don’t go past volume 4 anyway, but if half power was introduced then it would mean this would become 8 which would give me an extra step in between.

You of course have more scale when using the app. Even some think it is difficult to get the perfect spot with the slider volume and prefer number scale. I know some people will use Sonosequencer to set exact volume levels.
