The whole 4A automaticly getting lower then 5A isn't always true. Look in the Cedar Park Festival Vista Ridge made the top five beating out Leander. Sure some might argue that the contest doesn't have the prestige as others but the judges were very professional and well known judges, this fact has been presented on the forums and many people agree. I do however agree that it is most of the time harder for a 4A to compete with 5A just because of stereotypical ideas.
