Well, I just applied a qty discount to an item on a local store, and well, it seems to me that that option is not a bad way to go.
I haven't gone to look at the fields associated with quantity discounts and what is exported using EP4, but if it isn't already, the products_discount_type field could be included in the export/import, which would allow manual revision of the type of discount to be applied; however, the actual product discount "multiplier" is in the products_discount_quantity table. Export/import of that would require additional coding; however, if a product already existed, updates of that product would be applied using the "rules" of the qty discount, so, if the discount is percentage off or money off, etc., then whatever new price is entered will have the same modification then as it did before.
In that regards EP4 does "handle" quantity discounts, at least not have a problem because they are applied, but it doesn't currently apply changes to or modify quantity discount quantities.
