Evenly Matched Strength Standards? Is 150,225,300,375 More Realistic than 135,225,315,405?

The popular “intermediate standards” seem unbalanced to me:
  1. 135 lb OHP
  2. 225 lb Bench
  3. 315 lb Squat
  4. 405 lb Deadlift
IMO: The OHP is way too light in comparison to the bench, the deadlift is slightly too heavy in comparison to the squat, and the lower-body lifts are a tad too heavy in comparison to the upper-body lifts.

How evenly matched are the 1–2–3–4 plate weights? Any more evenly matched alternatives? Thoughts on 150, 225, 300, 375 because this follows the 2/3/4/5 strength ratios?
