I think everyone knows the hybrid penalty effects the group.. Its just people have wild ideas of what that entails. One hybrid joining doesnt give the group his penalty to each person. Only he has the penalty and he takes a share slightly proportipned to it, so its more closer to you all splitting his penalty a few percent each,,but even thats not quite right.. Plus theres a group bonus.
Anyway, the penalty of having one person one level higher is usually worse for a group as a whole then having an even leveled group with say a ranger in it
And if your whole group has troll shadowknights, then and only then does the whole group have a 1.68 leveled penalty.. Plus a 6 man bonus.. And even that isnt so bad
