Right, but realistically that is what happens with SizeTiered. Another option is to split the tables in proportion size NOT same size. Like 100 GB into 50, 25, 12,13. If you make all as 10gb each, they will compact immediately into same size again. Motive is to get rid of duplicates which exist on smaller tables outside this one big table (as per my understanding from your email).
