Well, here's some (hopefully gentle) sense-slapping:
If you're in stage 3, chances are you've grown a lot, but you're yet to put it in the proper context. That's understandable - that's what the latter stages are for. As we agreed with Heavysm before - first your reality shifts (1-2), then you develop the skills (3-4), then you find out how they fit in the larger picture (5-6).
My guess is that if you quit now, at least some of those reality shifts you've mentioned before will be far from permanent as you'll likely never find out how they are supposed to serve you.
I'm also convinced you will not be able to accurately evaluate how BASE is working out for you until you're at least a few weeks into stage 5.

To play a devil's advocate for second, in my experience one run of BASE only gave me a little more than a glimpse as to what is possible. I can safely say that for me anything less than 2 runs would have been a lot less than permanent in the long run. Three runs... and I'm confident most of it will stick with me.
This was easier for me to do when there was no 5.5G around, but I think you're likely to face more temptation, especially as full 6G products start coming out. I think it all depends on where your priorities lie in the long run.

To interject a personal opinion in the end, if I were you I'd finish this run of BASE. That way:
- you will get at least some permanent programming (and a lot of dormant one to be unlocked in the future)
- you'll have a better idea of whether BASE is for you
- you'll definitely have more more stuff to clear on E2 should you then decide to run it again
As for DMSI, I've never run it but personally, I can't imagine stopping BASE halfway because of it... even if it's just because DMSI sounds like the "fun" sub that doesn't seem to produce much of a long-term growth.
