Because enum allows the potential values to be restricted to a set of 
distinct values rather than a range. And while yes, I understand that 
the value can be validated, or the step can in this case be set to 
correspond to the difference between the current 2 values, this approach 
would neither make it clear to the user what the permitted values are, 
nor would it scale well once additional values are required.

Above 3 lines are noted, I will make these changed.
