Variance? After how many buyins do you decide it is not a downswing?

[JSmith2007]

At 4 tables then I would say it's more variance then downswinging. If you lost 7 BI at one table, that's one thing, but 4 tabling is a little different.

I think it would be fine to step down to 50NL (unless you are healtily rolled for the 100NL (>40 buyins)) and try to see the differences between 100NL and 50NL and thus adjust to it.
