What's the difference between "proportional" and "in proportion to", could you tell me if you like both as much and if it's idiomatic please?

I have left both in your sentence untouched, meaning that I found no fault in them. Please remember from now on that that is how I present my corrections: if the text is OK, I do not change it.
