How well Calamity difficulty levels (revengeance/death) fit into world difficulty (expert/master)?

[Flying Mage]

I'm starting my first run and I wonder what difficulty should I pick. What's the most adequate difficulty setting in your opinion (like if I want some challenge, but I don't want to sweat blood or break my fingers)?
All I did previously is completed vanilla on expert. I guess it makes me somewhat experienced, but not really. And this is the very first time I'm trying Calamity mod so I don't know anything about it.

i'd say difficulty wise the order would be:
Expert < Master ~ Expert Revengeance < Master Revengeance < Expert Death < Master Death

Where Master mode only adds statbloat, Death and Revengeance both heavily change how enemies and especially bosses behave leading to an overall greater, but far more fun challenge. Revengeance and Death also enable normally Mastermode exclusive drops, so no worries about missing out on those pets, mounts and decorative relics.

Personally i'd advise going with Expert Revengeance as thats the intended setting and overall feels best. Early game is likely to be very difficult, but unlike the world setting you can change calamities difficulty modes mid run (just not while a boss/event is alive) to ease the start if you like.

Note that Post-Moonlord content generally is highly challenging no matter the setting.

just do master death. it will take you forever to beat, but you'll feel better about it when you finally do.
