Tank transfer method with SG match

I am currently at 1.022 SG in the 3rd stage of the TTM. I am getting to do round 4 of the TTM. I was looking to start slowly raising my SG levels, so by the time round 4 is complete...I can move him to my fully cycled QT tank, that sits at 1.024.

If the new transfer tank is already temperature matched....can I get away with having this last transfer tank sit at 1.023, which is only a 0.001 increase. Will this stress out the clowns and be dangerous for them??

I guess another way to put this is the following... Is this protocol method ok for TTM so as not to shock the fish in terms of SG....

1st TTM = 1.021
2nd TTM = 1.022
3rd TTM = 1.023
4th TTM = 1.024

QT transfer = 1.025

OR....do I keep the SG of all the Tank transfers the same, and then once in the QT for 4-6 weeks, slowly raise the SG to then eventually match my DT, so the move is more seamless??

OR......do I keep my last tank transfer, going from the 3 to the 4th, the same in terms of SG. Then do water change on my fully cycled QT (that has a shrimp and a hermit) to bring the SG to match the 4th Tank transfer.....then slowly raise my QT over the next several weeks to match my DT.

Just looking to keep things as seamless as possible.

Thanks
