I think you would be better off smoothing the very top where it transitions to your yard area or other level track. I have used both sandpaper and a rasp with good results. I think this is what WS had in mind for using their incline sections. By raising and lowering the 4% riser, as you suggest, even only 4mm, you will result in short, much steeper grades at the transition area of your "S" curve, in effect a "bump". I built a layout with an unintentional bump in the incline due to poorly prepared subroadbed and it gave me fits until it was repaired. I hope this helps
