I was only able to get tickets for three games, and they're very optimistic tickets: Game five of the ALCS (assuming we're the WC team), and games six and seven of the WS. I bought game seven first, and went with 200-outfield (same as what I had for last year's playoffs), then the ALCS tickets, which are also in that section. Then when I bought game six of the WS I went with 500 level seats because I realized that I'm really not going to care where I'm sitting if those games are even a thing... Plus I've actually always liked the 500's anyway. But yeah, I definitely agree that I preferred getting the entire strip last year for the same reason you mentioned.
