Could views or darshanas then specialize? One darshana  for quickness of attainment, one for completeness, one  for easier life in relative creation? One flat, one textured? You forgot corduroy :-). There are definitely ones that are faster than others. One of the reasons it's great to have an ishta/yidam/personal deity is that it makes life in the relative much easier. Both Hindus and Buddhist rely heavily on these--for both attainment and relative boons.
