150% UI Scaling Option for Photoshop

I'd been trying to get some feedback from the guys at Adobe regarding this, but seems like no one has seen or heard this pleas. I'm currently using a Surface Pro 3 to work on Photoshop, and while I really appreciate the fact that Adobe introduced the 200% scaling option, it's really too big to do anything productively. It's definitely usable, but is it the best scaling? I would really hope 150% scaling option to be added as well. So we could toggle between it base on our preference.

What do you guys think?

The way this is supposed to work now, is that Photoshop UI scaling automatically follows the Windows setting, in 25% increments.

The crucial point is that the image window itself maintains independent scaling, so that 100% still means one image pixel represented by exactly one screen pixel. This is what's new, and this is what has been difficult to implement before. This is what took so long.

Note that this requires Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, and it does not work on Windows 7 or 8.

I also need the 150% Option!

Working with a Dell 31" 4k Display: 200% is too big, 100% way too small.

Quite frankly, we all simply want the software developers to have done their due diligence and ensured that Photoshop works on all modern machines and popular operating systems. In the meantime, I suggest that Adobe does two things: 1) alert all major retailers to the problem so that they advise customers appropriately; 2) post a very clear warning on their own website so that we are aware of the problem when considering buying the software. The resulting loss in trade to Adobe and other companies might then exert sufficient pressure to resolve the issue, rather than putting out inadequate scaling fixes.
