You can do multiple difficulties if you vary it enough structure wise.

But then all the files blend together in an uninteresting training wheel bubble. I think intentionally undercharting songs works really well when done right.

Think say, My Little Pony Medley [Standard] as a really good example of simplifying a file and doing it cleanly and fun. It's more difficult counterpart is still really damn fun too.
